How To Overcome Severe Depression Caused Due To Tragic Loss?

My daughter is 40 years old and has experienced a tragic loss in the last year. Her loss was her spouse of fourteen years. I thought that it was heart wrenching grief as occurs in such loss, but it has escalated into something else. She thinks all of her family members want only her inherited finances that are supposed to be used for her and her sons livelihood. She has been spending and giving away her finances and then she explodes over the money spent. She violently accuses us of wanting to destroy her. We want only to help her but she insists we are just using her till the money is gone. Is this a form of severe depression? Bipolar? Schizophrenia ? I could use some advice on how to help her.
