Is this all correct?

Hi,
Is this reported speech all correct?

She claimed that she could understand that I had been very disturbed at the loss of the fruit and the damage to the tree.

Thanks in advance.

It's not wrong, but it would help if you showed us the actual direct speech. Clive

I realize you must be very disturbed at the loss of the fruit and the damage to the tree, (because you take such good care of your trees and yard.)
