      Died is the past tense of the word die. I think in this case they are indeed wrong.

      It’s ok to say “I loved my wife, I still do, but I did previously too.” Since the love occurred in the past tense that makes sense, but since her death has not occurred I do not believe OP is grammatically correct.
