Get a webcam as well. That way you can monitor her behavior. Hopefully she doesn't have separation anxiety but if she does, you will be able to catch it and help her adjust to being alone during the day.
Having a webcam will give you some peace of mind. Also dogs are more resilient than you think. I believe just like with humans, they go through a period of grieving. Their grieving will slowly subside over time but I do believe Bella will be okay. I also believe that being with you is the best place for her because of the familiarity.
