[early 2010s?] psychological drama about grief I remember my parents watching

I have been trying to find this movie for YEARS but I have such faint memories of it. I think it’s from the early 2010s because I would have been 5 or 6 when I watched it but there’s a chance it came out earlier and my parents just watched it later.

The plot was centered around this woman taking care of her husband who was left with a severe brain injury after an accident, and how she grapples with growing to resent taking care of him years later. But at the end of the movie, she finds out he was actually dead the whole time and she was imagining him out of grief.

The only specific details I remember:

\- The way the man died was he hit his head against the fender of a car after he got punched by someone outside of a bar (I assume the man who punched him was being out of line and they got in a fight bc the man who passed away was trying to defend his wife maybe?)

\-There’s a scene where the lady yells at a mailman because she thinks the mailman is mocking the man’s injury, but we later find out the mailman was actually staring because the lady was talking to someone that isn’t there

\-The other people in the lady’s life know her husband is dead, but can’t tell her because of her mental health I think? But I think it is eventually a relative or something that tells her and then the viewer gets all the flashbacks of times she imagined her husband being there.

Thank you so much if anyone has any insight! Also, sorry for any missing/incorrect details!!
