Are the signs and events that accompanied the wife's death, such as repeated fainting spells, hearing words about forgiving people and seeking contentment, seeing people dressed in white, and her death while facing the Qibla, considered evidence of a good ending, especially given her patience with the death of her children and the good praise she received after her demise?

Among the signs of a good ending is that a servant is, before their death, guided away from what displeases their Lord, to repent from sins, and to turn towards acts of obedience, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "When Allah desires good for His servant, He employs him." They asked, "How does He employ him?" He said, "He guides him to righteous deeds before his death." Thus, your wife's eagerness for your satisfaction with her, her patience in the face of her children's deaths, her community's praise of her, and her death after performing prayers are all matters that indicate a good ending for her. However, it should be known that the ultimate end is among the matters of the unseen, and what has been mentioned are merely signs to be considered.
