Wife may have attempted suicide as we were discussing divorce

NSFWMental Health/Depression/Loneliness

Me (62) and wife (56) have been married for 10 years, together for 12. 3.5 years ago she confessed an affair that happened four years previously. We worked through that but just recently I discovered it had reoccurred. I asked for a divorce and we have been going through the particulars of filing and selling the house. No kids. A week ago I found her passed out on the floor from an overdose of cough syrup . Unclear if the OF was intentional or not. She told the psych doctor it was intentional but she was still pretty out of it when he interviewed her. They placed her on a psych hold and she has been in a special unit at the hospital. She gets out in a few days and I have no idea how to deal with this. Do I wait on the divorce until she is more stable? Do we pick up where we left off when she did this?
