Whilst feeling very sad for this young woman and her children's loss I do wonder if she is aware of the trauma her husband's suicide has created for her.
Her goals albeit admirable may not be allowing her to properly move on as they are keeping her anchored in a single event that is now years old. She obviously feels very put out with her husband abandoning her and their children. Is she now doing the same thing?
I have problems with Facebook URLs as I do not use Facebook directly. If you enter the following in your browser it should take you to the page of Depression, Anxiety Warriors. Scroll down their page to 15th April 2019 and hopefully, you will find the video. I have attached a screenshot.
Do you think that she is doing the right thing for herself and her children?

Everyone has to walk the path that’s best for them. It isn’t always the best path for us but it’s a journey.
It’s difficult if not impossible to understand someone else’s feelings in these types of situations even if you’ve been through it.
I don’t even consider these situations. I just wish her the best.

Depression is a hard thing to deal with. There are levels to it and there are chemical changes in the brain that can happen. An event such as this woman suffered is a clear trigger. Since I rarely use facebook and am not interested in going to it I'll just spitball a response. I suffered a loss of someone close to me by a drunk driver. I got extremely depressed. Since I did not have kids my options were more fluid BUT even in the middle of the depression I knew I was not "me" and got help. I even took and anti-depressant, I did not like the side effects but I took it and it worked and then the words of the therapist started making sense and then I was weened off the drugs and was finally back to "me". A happier fully functioning human. Such drunk driving triggers me, such there is a sad memory but I am not stuck there.

Glad to hear you got off the chemicals. They merely make me sleep which if I'm not trying to repair physical injury is nf good. I have written a summary for Athena below.
@FrayedBear Actually whatever it was I was taking did not make me sleepy at all. It allowed me to function!! I was able to leave the house, I could go to work, focus on my work, actually talk to people all the things I had found myself unable to do that told me I was no 'me'. So drugs do have there place if you go too deep down the rabbit hole of depression. This was 40 years ago hopefully they have even better drugs to help people repair their lives.
