It's indeed not 8 years, I agree. I just think if we substitute ourselves into that scene where such detail is not needed, then it should be sufficient to say either "she died 7 years ago"  or "she died 8 years ago", and since the 8th full year has largely passed the latter would seem more reasonable. After all, if we ask that "8 years ago" must be exactly 8 years, then every statement with a few months' difference from the reality would be wrong, like saying "I married her two yers ago" on Aug.21, 2013 while they married on Dec.29, 2011.

And I apologize for my habit of questioning in a non-question manner.
