maybe you could spend some time, take a few hours, sit down, and write out a short letter. if i were in your shoes, i would state these things: i love you, i forgive you, and you are welcome home if and/or when you want to come back. if she didn't have a key, i would send one with it.
your situation is up to you. do what you feel led to do. just because the pastor says you should wait, doesn't mean you have to. with my parents my mother listened to the pastor and it caused a lot of heartache, and in other situations with other people i know the pastor gave strong solid advice that helped. pastors are people, and if its a matter of opinion and not doctrine, take it as council and make your own decision with that council in mind. but i would let her know you are there, and she can come home, and leave it at that.
the prodigal son came home when he had nothing left. the father didn't chase him down, but when he saw his err and went home, his father was there with an open door and the best of everything he had.
