My heart goes out to you. That’s a really tough but ultimately good decision to put as much distance between you and a firearm. We need you, my friend.
Firearms aren’t for everyone which is where there are many decent alternatives.
Personally, I am a fan of home pepper gel spray. Unlike other things (like a pepper pistol, or taser, or knife), you can empty the canister on the offending person and if they manage to wrestle it from you somehow, it will be empty and they can’t do anything to you with it.

As someone who’s had their closest family member eat their own gun, good choice.
Your loved ones thank you for it.

I think about it often, if my wife found me. Finding such things are so much worse than what we think.
I think about her reaction, what it would be, to realize so suddenly that her husband is gone. Forever. So quickly, with no closure, ever. And this is something that has kept me going.
I am so sorry to hear of your family. It never gets better, I hope you are doing well.
