is she in danger of any mental illness or is it just a stage of denial? What is she in for for the next years of her life?

Each person handles grief in their own way. She is not required to wail and moan, to writhe on the floor in grief, to cry uncontrollably until she is physically sick.
When my mom died, I did not cry in front of anyone, I had to many people to care for besides myself, and I did not know if I would be able to stop crying once I started. So I cried privately, I grieved on my own. I am fine mentally, I have not went over the edge or been warped and made unfeeling because of this.
The best thing you can do for her, is to be there if she needs you. If she decides she needs someone, she will reach out to someone she knows she can count on. But just remember, she is grieving in her own way, it may not be how you think you would do it, but no one really knows how they will handle such a situation until it happens to them.

There are several stages to grieving.. Just let her know your there for her when she needs to have a hissy fit or just cry cause getting mad is one of the stages..it's all a healing process and everyone goes through it differently. But having a good friend can be the best thing for her.

Some people do not cry in front of others. Unless you are with her 24 hours a day you cannot know how she grieves in private.

She needs to mourn- a year and a half is too long to not mourn. Get coucelling- now. No one will know what you're crying about 10 years from now.

Some people just keep their emotional pain on the inside, maybe taking her to therpy to help get through it would help, it could be she has trouble admitting she has cried.. .. . it may to her be a sign of weakness.. . .
Good luck and best wishes

hi. take her out.. she appears to have not come out of the shock still.. change where she lives, change the atmosphere and make her realise that she is in reality which is the present... she needs a lot of love and support for coming out of this... God Bless Her...

People grieve in different ways. Don't question it, but be there if she does break down.
