A wife getting murdered by a beast while trying to keep up with her husband that is descending into insanity is enough tragedy that going out of our way to make it more so like making it so that the husband was the one who did the deed in his delirium would be edgelord territory

Bloodborne is a video game about EDGE.
It's a video game where dudes in trench coats kill werewolves with giant switchblades! There is a god damn Katana that you power up by coating it in your blood.
it's called fucking BLOODBORNE.
Complete with an E so you know they're serious!

[x] Let Eileen keep trying to calm him down
We can learn what we smell like later, from "Fiddle", since she's able to smell a true Hunter's moonlit scent. Or maybe I'm thinking of Adella (?) the prostitute, who definitely can.
I'd vote along with handing Eileen the music box, but I don't see how we can do that without Gascognoie seeing us do it.
Further, I don't know what good the music will do. Reminding him of his family at this point will just remind him that his WIFE is DEAD; the mother of his daughters IS DEAD.
On top of that, Papa G doesn't seem to think he's going to be around (or sane) much longer; that belief combined with the knowledge that his wife is dead equals "my daughters are orphans".
We need to see if Eileen can get Father G to focus enough on himself that he can grab his self-control back. The more faith he regains in his humanity, the more faith he regains in his ability to be a single father. THEN he can afford to really process the fact that he's a single father.

Hmmm... I had always assumed that Gascoigne killed Viola, but now that I think about it, his line - "Beasts all over the shop. You'll be one, soon enough." - fits the scenario of Viola being killed by a beast and that being what destabilized Gascoigne. He's in a delusional half-state between Hunter and Beast, and all he needs to tip over is another encounter with someone (ie, the Paleblood Hunter).
The wife's found on that little roof overhang thing while Gascoigne is chopping at something in the graveyard (I can't recall how much detail you can see of what he's brutalizing).

I just assumed he killed her and then killed a bunch of unrelated beasts, probably having mistaken her for one of them, as half-maddened blood addled beast people tend to in Bloodborne.

Unlikely he killed her, since you can talk to the girl prior to fighting Cleric Beast but Papa G is a summon for Cleric Beast. Since time doesn't change until after defeating Vicar, we can presume the encounter between you and Papa G occurs very soon after you summon him for Cleric Beast (assuming you do).
Its... much more likely he discovered his wife dead right outside Cathedral Ward and flat out lost it.

The E is probably there because they mean borne as in carried. As in a blood borne pathogen or something. But everyone probably knew that already so ill shut up.

If anything, Bloodborn has even more edge than Bloodborne. Instead of being a pathological term associated with a a disease in blood, it's literally 'born of blood'. How is that not the material of complete edge-lords?
To be fair, one of the prominent lines from the game is "We are born of the blood. Made men by the blood. Undone by the blood."
