Well if some annoying-ass teen was following her and repeating the same warning to over and over and over again, as if their dialogue was written by someone very familiar with running into brick walls, she probably wanted to die.

A merchant in Baghdad sent his servant to the market.
The servant returned, trembling and frightened. The
servant told the merchant, "I was jostled in the market,
turned around, and saw Death.
"Death made a threatening gesture, and I fled in terror.
May I please borrow your horse? I can leave Baghdad
and ride to Samarra, where Death will not find me."
The master lent his horse to the servant, who rode away,
to Samarra.
Later the merchant went to the market, and saw Death in
the crowd. "Why did you threaten my servant?" He asked.
Death replied, "I did not threaten your servant. It was
merely that I was surprised to see him here in Baghdad,
for I have an appointment with him tonight in Samarra."

lulz @ Poe.
When I first read this I was really bummed, cuz you make it past the plane crash but die right after. But then I got to thinking, and I hope the husband sees it this way (because I'm fairly certain he's going to feel really awful), she essentially got an extra week to spend time with people. A week that she wouldn't have had otherwise. And yeah it sucks, it would be nice if she could live a full life. But don't most people wish they could just have one more day with their loved ones? She had a whole week. AND I bet she was more careful and thoughtful since she was aware of what had almost happened. So, while tragic and awful, I'm going to take away something bittersweet from this.
