I think I might try to provide her angle on this. She was given all this money. Shes never seen this much before in her life. Her first and only instinct that she has is to spend. Shes given this large amount that most people would be awestruck. The only thing she could think of was to spend money. It's feeding urges, some people have to spend money, some people have to do drugs, some people have to become alcoholics. She didn't know how to cope with her loss, she turned to stuff that probably would not have helped.
Now, to provided the other prospective. She spent 5 million dollars of other peoples money that was given to her because her husband died. I feel for her, she suffered a loss. I agree that she could've used the money for a better purpose. Her coping will evidentally and has lead to the loss of some very generous peoples money. And for that she will not be forgiven for.
I cannot condone what she has done, she couldn't cope, turned to other means. On the other hand, she used many friends, family and strangers that were generous enough to help out. Hopefully she'll learn something from this other than 'alcohol and drugs are bad to cope with.'
