Why didn’t Molly go to Eb or Listens to Wind as Harry suggested?

SerScot:
That seems like a perfectly rational thing to do.  Was she punishing herself for acceding to Harry’s request?

It could also be a quick death.

He threw Molly under the bus.  He broke trust.  Why would she do that given what he did? Uriel spells it out.
--- Quote from: Uriel to Harry ---“It is one thing for you to say, ‘Let the world burn.’ It is another to say, ‘Let Molly burn.’ The difference is all in the name.” “Yeah,” I croaked. “I’m starting to realize that. Too late to do any good. But I get it.”

So… she hurt herself to punish Harry?

Harry preaches at her in Turn Coat about just this thing. Under pressure he asks her to do just what he told her she shouldn't do. This is the very reason she was under the Doom.  If a friend or a mentor does that to you, do you trust them?
--- Quote from: Turn Coat ---I stared at her for a minute. Then I said, in a very quiet voice, “I always know when I’m being tempted to do something very, very wrong. I start sentences with phrases like, ‘I would never, ever do this—but.’ Or ‘I know this is wrong but.’ It’s the but that tips you off.”

Do a really deep dive into Ghost Story because this is exactly the point.  The whole book is about the chickens coming home to roost for Harry's bad choices for Molly.
