Relationship Fear Of Physical Contact

[Sangamo]

My fiancée lost her two children in an accident 22 years ago. As far as I know she's never got any help but we have got her to a great dr. And her meds are helping. She has an appointment with a physiatrist next month. In the last few weeks we've had a real hard time and she has been pushing me away a lot. My main concern is she has got to where she jerks away from a hug and even simply trying to hold her hand not to mention no form of intimacy. Is there anything I can do other than be patient to help this and is it normal with PTSD. She also suffers from depression. Thanks for the help

There probably isn't going to be anything you can do... Except trying to remember not to touch her at all. It'd be a hard habit to break if that's what you guys are used to.

She has to help herself now.

Thanks I was thinking the best thing is let her come to me. This has all started in the last month. We were married 5 years ago and she started acting similar and them left. We got a divorce but stayed in touch mainly when she needed me. After about 2 years she and I started seeing each other again talked extensively about her problems and our relationship. We've been doing fair but now she's started reacting the same way among other things I have noticed. I am thinking that a event that's stressful can set her off. Back then we had a tree fall on our home and just recently I was in an auto accident.
