She says that everything is ok with us but she doesn't show me any sign that she loves or cares about me. I know she has a lot on her mind so I've tried to give her some space, but it has been really hard. She used to write me all the time and call up just to say she loves me, but that hasn't happened at all. I keep telling her that I love her and I'm here for her, but she just really doesn't want to talk to me. I've sent flowers to her work and done many different special things that she used to love. It just seems like nothing excites her anymore. I'm worried that she's falling into a deep depression. Whenever I ask her she says everything's FINE. She says that she doesn't know what to say and that she's really confused right know. I just want to know what I should be doing right now. Before this happened we had this incredible relationship, I just hope this doesn't make that end.

Let her call the shots. I mean, something like that happens, it's not gonna be very nice. Give her space if she asks for it, and try not to get frustrated with her. It's only natural to get depressed when someone dies.
