Wife left after starting a new life in her hometown

My wife and I have been living in the US for 6 years. We're both from Europe. 2.5 years ago we had a baby girl. Wife decided to quit her job, so we were down to one salary, with all the financial struggle that this implied. I had pressure to finish my work asap from my wife so that we could return to Europe. Due to immigration and visa policies, she couldn't work in the US. This situation dragged for 2 years, making our relationship very tense. She searched for a job in Europe, and she found one, so we decided we would move back even if my project was unfinished. Before moving, she started expressing doubts about the continuity of our marriage. We moved to her hometown. She has here a support system, I don't. 4 months after moving, she mentioned in a couples counseling session that she has decided to separate, there is not coming back. I feel devastated. My job ends in June, and I can't continue the career path I envisioned for myself in this city, because I want to be close to my daughter. I feel devastated and my mind goes to dark places often...
