My Girlfriend's mother died of cancer when she was 19. Now at 33 she is going through an intense grieving process and has asked for space in our relationship because of it. I have asked her to talk to a therapist but I don't think she has yet. There is very little communication between us now. What can I do?

Give her the space that she needs. She may have been using this as an excuse for something else. She will come back to you when she is ready. If she doesn't come back, you will at least know your relationship has been on shaky ground all along.

Hello there,
I completely agree with hoseclamps. After all she is 33, and this happened when she was 19, and that is really long period of time so maybe this is just an excuse for something else. If she needs space then give her space she is asking for. But be careful, that she is not making fool of you. Sometimes women don’t know what they want, and at certain age they are thinking about the future in other direction.
She is 33 years old, and in my opinion she is ready to have children and get married, and she is probably evaluating are you the right person for that. I could be wrong, but this is how I think.

From my experience as a woman that pulls away in a relationship, it's due to her man not being fully present and taking the issues as if they aren't important. I'd say engage and get to the bottom of the issues, take it seriously, do all that you can to resolve the issues. After doing so, if she is still distant... then I'd say her heart is just not in it and you need to love yourself and love her by letting her go.
