“把”字句5：表致使
The '把' sentence expressing causation (致使)
Explanation
This structure is used when an event occurs that causes a negative or unintended outcome for the person or thing involved, usually with a tragic or regretful tone. The subject (which may be implied) does not directly cause the action, but is the one affected by the event. For example '把丈夫死了' does not mean 'she killed her husband', but rather 'due to some circumstance she lost her husband'.
