Calculating the waiting period of a woman who did not know of her husband's death

Question:
A woman did not learn of her husband's death until several months had passed. How is her waiting period calculated?

Answer:
Yes, the waiting period following death begins from the moment of death, even if she did not know of it. It is not tied to the husband’s knowledge, but rather to the husband’s death. So if she did not learn of it until after the waiting period had ended, the waiting period has already occurred and concluded, and during that time she completes whatever remained.
