Ruling on the Night Stay of a Widow Outside Her Home Due to Inability

Question
Is it permissible for a widow in her waiting period after her husband's death to stay outside her home for health reasons, as she is elderly and ill and requires care, and her children cannot stay with her due to their unavailability, so if she stays with them it would make it easier for them to take care of her?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for her to live with her children if staying in the marital home causes harm or temptation, and God knows best.
