Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing away of your husband. I hope you find the strength to stay strong and positive. Unfortunately, we can not reverse death!

A tingling sensation on the foot is often a transient symptom and should disappear sooner than later. However, if this fails to happen or new symptoms set in, we may need to investigate in greater details what the possible explanation is. In real practice, we never get a real explanation and managing the symptom through various life style modifications and drugs remains the best known approach.

For now, there is no point in getting worried about this. Time would tell whether we need more action on this or not. Monitor, gather more information that may prove helpful should the symptoms persist.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more information and clarifications should need be.
