There are many many reasons a person would choose to become mute. The most common would be that person feels that they are being devalued. If she feels like her power is being taken away from her, refusing to speak is one way to regain some control. It's important to approach her as you would like to be approached were you in her situation. She's a woman, with many years of experience, a wealth of knowledge, and endless well of stories and anecdotes. Treat her as such. Everyone needs friendship. Good luck!
