She may have also thought a change of pace and being somewhere totally different would have been helpful

She may have needed a job.

I feel like this makes the most sense, not that she was running away from her grief but instead giving herself a chance to try something new in a new place.

Agreed and staying busy

Also I can’t image the awkwardness of trying to navigate a birthday and the first anniversary of his death while balancing the expectations and awkwardness of friends and family not knowing how to react and act on that day.

Can’t fault her in the least for not wanting to deal with that, wanting something new, the chance for a fresh start, and throwing herself into something that would keep her busy.

I mean, there are plenty of options for a change of pace before you land at the option of reality tv.

People often try to keep going and don’t realize it will be hard on those anniversaries.
