My gf is a tricky one. I don't want to change her, but I want to know what could be going on w/ her so I can offer the best support I can, and she's really locked up about something. We talk about stuff like this and inevitably, she just almost freezes. We have made it a little further into discussions over time, which is why I want to keep this up. My question is, what sorts of thins, irrationally strong emotions, tendencies, and (big one for me) relationship patterns might one taking berevemant especially hard experience/display? She lost her father several years ago (car acc.) as young girl.

Obviously, she is dealing with the loss of her father still. That is a difficult thing to get over, especially as a child and probably she never had counseling. Don't push her. You can suggest she go to a counselor for talk therapy. There are lots of books out there that are self-help for people dealing with past trauma.
The dealth of her father could have brought such great turmoil to the family in different ways; financial, besides emotional.
Be patient, kind and understanding.
