Looking at Job's life, I see John 15:1-17 and 1 Corinthians 7:12-16. Job was the light of his home, and faithfully remained with his wife to show her that God is good even if God takes him out. She witnessed God's goodness as they both underwent the pruning stages of life just as John 15 describes they'll be able to produce even more fruit, and God Almighty allowed her the opportunity to witness that.
God is sovereign and knows what kind of heart Job's wife had and nowhere in the book of Job does it disclose that he re-married or that his wife that used harsh terms against God Almighty was ever struck down dead. God showed her mercy as He has done it for the people in Psalm 107 who rebelled against Him, but once they cried out Lord rescue me, they were saved by Him. God's word is amazing in that when God Almighty strikes someone down all would see it written in the scriptures or if He removes a woman like King Xerxes ex-wife to re-marry him to Esther all would see what happened. Some assume such things of Job's wife, but since it was never written we can only believe that God gave her a chance to see where she fell in error just as many of us today. We have grace and mercy to see where we've fallen short and need a faith lift.
