Hello,

A friend of mine is very closed up since her mother died (8 years ago). She used to be very cheerful and talktive but now she is very silent. It is very hard to actually have a conversation with her. There are some rare times when she still seems to enjoy herself and is a bit closer to how she used to be, but most of the time it is like her head is somewhere in the clouds or she has no emotions at all.

We (some friends of her) miss the old her. She is too stubborn to actually see a Psychiatrist about it. Any idea how we get her to open up at least a little?
