I agree with what everyone else posted.
I would like to add one thing, though, as this logic may also help the guilty feeling.

Whatever she'd feel due to the consequences of this phone call pales in comparison to the grief that she'd feel if she were in an accident, and one or all of her children were injured or killed. You're helping to protect her children from that possibility. I am sure, if they knew, they'd be grateful to you for your courage to do the difficult thing.



You did the right thing.
