I think natural/complimentary medicine would be a good fit, but I don't see anything wrong with you going into traditional medicine, after all, you already know what that would mean.

While you'd make a lovely counsellor I would worry that you might find yourself being drained from the constant reminders of difficulties. Something positive, where you can make a difference but still have plenty of yourself left for you and the kids.

Why don't you try volunteering for something you are enthusiastic about and see if inspiration takes hold?
