Dear Mary,
There are some great anti-hypertensive herbs available. Liquids (e.g. MediHerb) are better than tablets and practitioner-only ranges are better than OTC. Most of these work through their anti-spasmodic and/or relaxant properties actions to the smooth muscle cells. I would suggest a combination formula of Mistletoe, Lime flowers, and Hawthorn berrys (also a general cardiac and circulatory tonic).
Nutritionally; magnesium and calcium are also required for muscle-cell communication and more importantly 'turning off' spasm and tension. Essential Fatty acids (EPO, flaxseed, and fish oils), and Co-Q enzyme 10. Also lots of fresh garlic and onions daily.
STRESS - is a major contributor and needs to be addressed; exercise, Bach flowers, meditation, yoga etc. Perhaps a holiday ? - After all she sounds like she has her hands full already, let alone her coping with her recent loss ..
