montgomery underwent several periods of depression while trying to cope with the duties of motherhood and church life and with her husband's attacks of religious melancholia (endogenous major depressive disorder) and deteriorating health: "for a woman who had given the world so much joy, life was mostly an unhappy one." in 1918, montgomery was stricken with and was almost killed by the "spanish flu" pandemic that killed between 50-100 million people all over the world in 1918-1919, spending ten days bed-ridden with the spanish flu. in her diary on 1 december 1918, montgomery wrote after a visit to toronto in november: "toronto was then beginning to be panic stricken over the outbreak of the terrible "spanish flu". the drug counters were besieged with frantic people seeking remedies and safeguards". montgomery wrote in her diary about being infected with spanish flu: "i was in bed for ten days. i never felt so sick or weak in my life", going on to express thanks to god and her friends for helping her survive the ordeal. montgomery's best friend frederica campbell macfarlane was not so lucky and died after contracting the spanish flu on 20 january 1919. montgomery was upset that her husband had been indifferent to her as she was dying of the spanish flu, which drove her to think about divorce (something very difficult to obtain in canada until 1967; between 1873 and 1901, there were only 263 divorces out of a population of six million). ultimately, montgomery decided it was her christian duty to make her marriage work.
