I too have lived with the fear that she will attempt again. Well, she may have as she is back in the hospital. I feel that both our spouses may be more ill than what others here are dealing with. I don't want either myself or my kids to keep living with this fear.
I took some time this evening to really think things through. I believe that as long as they have this fixation of divorce they probably will not move beyond it. Allowing the divorce to go through does not mean you are giving up. I am looking at it more as an adjustment much like a general makes during a war as the situation changes. I think holding on trying to prevent the divorce may be more damaging at this point. Even if my wife has to be institutionalized for a while she won't have the divorce to fixate on and will have to start living within her decision.
