Q: My wife died in my arms looking at me smiling without sakaraat. She exhaled one small little breath out, she was not sick,was healthy. I have seen people died that was scary and their throats made horrible noises. My wife had no sound dying, does this mean Allah Ta'ala was happy with her?

Q: My grandmother passed away a few days ago and after she passed, someone said that my grandfather is now a non-mahram for my grandmother and that he cannot look or touch her dead body.

Can a wife give ghusal to her husband after he dies?
