    I think it's "Chances Are" (1989)

    Cybill Shepherd plays a pregnant woman whose husband is killed before their baby is born; once he gets to heaven, he begs for a chance to come back to her and his unborn child. The twist is that he returns in the form of Robert Downey Jr., boyfriend to Cybill's daughter (Mary Stuart Masterson). When the daughter brings him home from college, he gets his memory back--and starts coming on to her mom.

    Have your wife check out this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-8LPlQQsc

    Two movies spring to mind that are kind of close.

    But only kind of.

    The Heavenly Kid

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089265/

    Guy dies, comes back as guardian angel to a kid - the son of angel's girlfriend before he died - turns out to be his kid as well.

    Earth Angel

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101793/

    Girl dies, comes back as guardian angel to her high school best friend's daughter.
