The thing is, trauma grows and becomes a monster when it isn't dealt with. I know it is easier to bury it, but it might be very healing for her if you could get her to talk about it, either in therapy or just with you. It would probably be extremely painful, but also very good in the long run for her. Also, do some research into PTSD, and see if you recognize the symptoms in her. If so, bring it up with her therapist.

Thanks hazel. I know my daughter out of all of my kids took foster care and her mothers death hard. I do recognize some PTSD symptoms with my D. She doesn't want to talk about foster care or recognizing the fact her mom is dead. It's also hard for me to talk about, but I do talk about it with my own T. I know she has to heal from two losses in her life. One being her mom, the other being placed into foster. I've heard a ton of things about foster care. I had a problem with one of the foster parents my D was placed with. I hope nothing happened to her. I will express my concerns with my daughter's T.
