I'm cleaning out mementos and keepsakes from 25 years ago when we were dating. I don't want to slander her, I don't want to talk too much about her, and I can't openly mourn. "Get a therapist" isn't cheap, and waiting several weeks to mourn with someone for an hour is hard.

It’s understandable that you need to mourn. Yes therapy is expensive if your insurance doesn’t cover it. Yes it is hard. But it still doesn’t make it ok to do it with your kids. Do you have friends? Family members (not your children)? I am not sure why you cleaning out keepsakes right now? Do you find it helpful? Stuff like that might have to wait until things are more settled. You aren’t even divorcing yet as no one filed yet.
