Her two children -- Zander, 6, and Zayne, 9 months -- have been removed from her home and are currently in foster care. Zayne is McCready's son with Wilson, and Zander's father is singer Billy McKnight.
"As you can imagine, the tragedy of David Wilson's death has been devastating and crippling to Mindy and her entire family. We can confirm Mindy was admitted to an in-patient facility yesterday," McCready's rep told People. "While taking appropriate and much needed time to grieve, her sons have been placed in foster homes where they are comfortable and cared for. We have no further statement at this time. Thank you for your patience, understanding and sensitivity."
McCready could be in treatment for up to 21 days, a source told E! News.
Wilson died on Jan. 13, of what was reported to police as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The investigation into his death is still ongoing.
