Thirteen Steps in the Underworld von Su-Yee Lin
It’s disconcerting, this meshing of the dead and the living. Is it just as strange for the dead? Do they hear your thoughts, see your memories? There are no answers, because they do not speak to you; they rush through you, on their way to a party, a concert, a show. These ghosts are in a hurry, perpetually late. They don’t mind the dark, but they love the light, so you find yourself colliding with one every time you enter the pools of light spilling out from lamps or neon signs. The brief whiff of memory, there and then gone.

You welcome it, because every time you think: this time, it might be her. This time and this time and this time. But it never is.

I loved this. Another husband goes into the Underworld in search of his wife, and fails ... differently than Orpheus did. I thought the ending was wonderful, but I see I am in the minority on that. If second person point of view annoys you, stay away. Otherwise, go read it now. It's free from Tor.
