They, unfortunately, did little to set her up for it.
However, it does a disservice to Francesca and Michaela not to have a buffer between John and their story. One of the reasons Francesca's book was treated differently is it handled the idea of grief (for both Francesca and Michael) very well. They both loved John. They both felt an incredible guilt over moving on. A slower burn over that probably would be easier to sell. Eloise's story also affected Francesca's because it playing out away from Francesca and not being told certain things made her feel isolated. With them adding more of a relationship between Francesca and Eloise in the show, that could have been more impactful. I think they're going to push the isolation part onto Eloise more now, though, which might be a bit too much in her story.
TLDR: Eloise and Francesca's seasons should be reversed

She doesn't look it, at least.

And will one of them die at the end? It's a common trope we see time and time again, so...
