But maybe I read too much into "what would this be called?", as opposed to a question like "what words would be useful in writing about this?" which your answer would most certainly provide for. It's easy to imagine there could be a word or short phrase for this, if it was a common trope in life or literature then it might be called "death-romance" or something, it just happens not to be... | |

In any case, as I mention in my answer, forlorn and piteous can both be applied to the individual, as well as to their plight. | |

But I think the questioner is looking for a word characteristic of the person or the situation, not just one that describes it :-) | |
