Hi Tinaar,
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband as well as what your daughter is going through. So many of our kids have some sort of grief or trauma they are dealing with. I believe you are spot on with your observation that her desire to be trans likely stems from her grief. Add in the changes of puberty and a "brave" friend who is making trans look like an attractive answer to life's problems, and that could be more than enough to send a kid wishing for her own new identity, her own transformation into someone strong and brave and different.
