In the vein of clinging and not letting go, the general philosophy of not going along with her in pretending something isn't a big deal - when it obvsly is - is a good way to approach it. You don't want to "encourage the bad behavior", in a sense, by following her lead. Insisting that it is something, even just to you (in the sense that "I know you feel something, and you pretending not to feel it makes me feel like you don't trust me with your emotions, or like it's not okay to have an emotional reaction. Please talk to me."), might help. Though, to get results, expect it to take awhile for her to start to respond. It's patience and consistency on your part.
