Thanks everyone, for your comments of support.

I think I will take the advice of distance. I don't think we would be friends anyway, so that makes sense. I will also non-invite her to future closed parties so this uncomfortableness doesn't happen again.

It is flattery but it is also unflattering for me to be compared to her!

Yes, the name itself is not "mine" in the Buddhist and spiritual sense. I have to let it go. I think perhaps I need to express myself before I let things go, so this was good for me, and I feel better about the situation.

She is going through with it. I don't envy her path right now, either.

Thanks again for the advice. I would still love more advice if there is more out there.
