Her husband died while she was leaving the marital home

Question
A man divorced his wife and took her back during the waiting period, but she remained in her son's house and the husband died. Does she have to observe the waiting period for death? And does she inherit?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: She has the waiting period of widowhood, and she inherits from her husband, because she is considered his wife even if she does not return to the marital home, and God knows best.
