Hi. since your girlfriend has become suicidal, she needs immediate admission into a psychiatric facility. She is a danger to herself and you can't keep her from attempting suicide again. She needs constant monitoring.

Depression due to empty nest syndrome can be managed by Electro convulsive shock therapy and after that counseling and anti-depressant drugs.
I recommend that you take her to a psychiatric facility until she is no longer suicidal.
