Well, as there was a reference by the father to there being time for her to have children, I took it to be that she may have had a Caesarian and lost the baby, probably at the time of her husband's death.
I think she came to Ireland to tell them of his death, and then just couldn't bear to do so because it would cause them so much grief.
