she leaves a husband
Like Tomasz's suggested answer, this is another time-honoured formula. But since you haven't told us what kind of text you're dealing with, it's impossible to know what register might be more appropriate.

And yes - as Polangmar has pointed out, I should have used the infinitive 'to leave a husband' as the title of the reference.

: it might be deceiving to go by the number of Google hits alone because certain populations and geographies use Internet less frequently, yet it is worth mentioning that the ratio is 110:1 in favor of "...is survived..."// I didn't mean it as criticism!

I didn't provide the link because of numbers,but to point the asker to the phrase in context//This is a valid suggestion-cf. the links I've just added.For my education-what's the linguistic justification for sending it to the glossary as 'neutral',please?

| agree |
Mariusz Kuklinski
: The phrase looks quite legitimate and established, even if less frequent. If it is used by the British Medical Journal it is quite fine by me.

Thank you.The numbers game rather unreliable here for a number of reasons. What's really important, I think, is register. Formal/legal or more warm/personal?
