HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is definitely possible that her behavior is linked to her loss.

Grief can affect persons in different ways, it can affect the mood and this can then cause altered behavior.

It may be best for her to see a counselor or psychiatrist to get at the root of the problem.

I hope this helps
