it's a slav thing to respond to an emotionally overwhelming event by shutting down on the inside entirely. depending on the degree of childhood trauma and other factors it'll last a few weeks or a couple of months and then she'll thaw and begin feeling awful. if you treated her well she will inevitably try to reach out within 6-12 months and if you were really good to her, and i don't mean just materially, she will keep doing it every half a year. t. 6 years after and she still tries to talk to me sometimes
