certainly not one you'd expect see coming.. but then again it can hit anybody, I was heartbroken and felt suicidally depressed and it wouldn't leave me for years, until one day I realized the foundation of the depression was me believing every thought, every single negative thought, and they were endless, and circular in nature. Don't believe any of it, and choose to ignore the negative and realise you can choose to look at each and every small positive.. have never looked back since that day.
RIP a beautiful woman, very sad to hear.
You'd find more people that have been in a similar situation than those who haven't.
My way was (and is) to compartmentalise each issue, rather than see it as one big mess.
Then, with each issue, group them as things that are completely out of your control, things you can influence, and things in your control.
For those completely out of your control, avoid the cause or take it on - it's important.
Things you can influence, do what you can to bring them within your control.
For things in your control, look for your wins.
