Here is an example: Say a family has a mother, father, two sons and a daughter. The one son is married with a child. Both sons are in the army fighting a war somewhere and both get killed.

The mother and father have lost 2 sons, the daughter 2 brother, the one sons wife a husband and a brother-in-law, and her baby a father and an uncle. Then the wife of the one deceased son might marry someone else and move far away. Now the mother and father have lost a grandson and daughter-in-law, the daughter an aunt and cousin.

It is also not uncommon for a wife to leave her husband (for various reasons) while he is at war somewhere.
