Inspired by Julie's question, but not answering it:
The Odyssey (although Penelope doesn't believe Odysseus is dead)
The Return of Martin Guerre (This doesn't have all the elements Julie
asks for, but, hell, it's about 'returning soldiers.')

Sommersby (an American film, based loosley on Martin Guerre)

I know there is a good deal of literature out there (autobiographies,
novels, etc.) in which the scenario is essentially thus: happily
married couple, husband (usually goes off to war) is killed. Woman
grieves and comes to terms. Later in life remarries happily, one day
dead husband turns up alive."
What I don't know is, absent specific titles, how to go about finding
it. Anyone familiar with good examples of this basic story-line?
