下記の文なのですがなんと説明したら良いでしょうか？
英語でお願いします！

それで、彼女はとてもさびしく思っています means "and she misses them very much." But I don't understand this part " さびしく思っています" I know that " さびし" means lonely and I guess that "思って" is wonder(?). But there is a KU in that and anyway... could you explain this to me?

よろしくお願いしますm(._.)m！

Please divide the sentence "それで、彼女はとてもさびしく思っています " as "それで、/彼女は/とても/さびしく/思って/います " , and replace with english words as "therefore, /she /very /lonesomely /wonder /-ing".

So, you may have a proper English sentence having same meaning ; "and, she misses them verr much". KU makes the adjective さびしい(lonesome) to the adverb さびしく (lonesomely), but lonely is difficult word to change to the adverb form ... still "lonely".

1. The expression 彼女はとてもさびしく思っています properly means that "She sent herself very lonely" and does not say why. But here, the context tells, that
"She sent herself very lonely, because they are not here", so this in another
English expression is "She missis them very much.".

2. As you see in the above sentence, さびし is the root of さびしく、さびしい、
さびしさ, namely advervial form, adjective present form and noun form.
