This is one of many possible ways that Tonks left this world…
You push through the madness of war, deflecting spells and searching, always looking for his face smiling at you, telling you he's fine and there's nothing to worry about, that once this is done with you'll be a happy family.
But there isn't - there's no smiling face, no words of comfort, just a gaping hole of endless worry.
You realise you're in an empty corridor, one of the rare ones that the war has spared, for now; you can see it would be useless searching here, so you turn to leave.
If only life were that simple.
You hear it before it happens, a great rumbling, as if the world was being ripped apart, then everything goes black, you feel pain, and see nothing.
All of a sudden, you are on the floor, pinned by a chunk of wall, your wand snapped in half, lying there uselessly in your hand.
You feel the blood from your wounds, your time has come.
You never got to see his face again.
