Just to get this straight: Is her husband dead?

Does she know her husband is dead?

Has he been dead for a while?

Does she acutally see her husband/his body (in contrast to just a reminiscence of him)?

Der Mensch ist das edelste Lebewesen. - Das erweist sich schon daraus, dass ihm noch kein anderes widersprochen hat. (G.C. Lichtenberg)
