Diver, I followed your posts as well. I am so sorry for what you are going through!!! But under no circumstance is this your fault. I suffered from post partum depression after one of my children, I can tell you from all honesty, A person with this is so totally out of reality that they cannot be responsible for their actions but neither can anyone else. It is not your fault at all! No one not even my husband could have stopped me from trying to kill myself or others at that time! Please find yourself a new priest for counsel, and forgive the priest that talked to you so harshly, he is only human after all.

You got bad advice. A husband never abandons his wife (as I suggested before, read Hosea). Yes, your wife bears her share of the responsibility for the attempt to take her own life, but so do you. She needed help, and you weren’t there.
Pray for her now and after her death. Go to confession.

I have wondered how you were getting on and I’m sorry to read such a sad update.
I’d just like to add with that others that this was not your fault. The situation was of your wife’s creating and who is to say that she may not have had PPD anyway and done exactly the same thing regardless of whether you had stayed or not?
Under the circumstances, it would be appropriate for the grandparents to raise the child.
I’d suggest that talking to a good counsellor might help you work through your own feelings on the matter. Remember that feeling guilt is part of the grieving process so you can expect to go through this.
Meanwhile, pray for a miracle. You never know what may happen and people have survived where there was little hope before.
