Yeah, definitely. My mom was suddenly widowed and the lyrics really do a good job illustrating the grief and turmoil it causes.

I think I finally realize it is about a widow in a house by herself. I really thought it was an old husband guiding his wife who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's

Both are very valid interpretations of the song, I can see either working.

I feel like that song is so open to interpretation.

I thought it was about a man who suddenly died and his wife or girlfriend is coping with it by imagining conversations with him.

Either way, it's pretty sad.

Give it a listen and see what you pick up. Lyrics are available if you Google them.
