How long did George and Emily have together before Emily's death in Our Town?

From the
time they got married, Emily and
George had just nine years to enjoy together until Emily died
while giving
birth.

The story takes a supernatural turn, when Emily is

welcomed to eternal rest by others in the afterlife. She fights the notion of rest that
they
suggest, and against the advice of the others, she chooses to relive her
12th birthday. Armed
now with the knowledge of thethat lies ahead, this
relived birthday proves to offer her no
joyjust an immensely heavy feeling of
sadness.

Later, when George arrives at
Emily's grave, he
is stricken with grief, and the pity that Emily feels for him is palpable.

This pity stems from her newfound knowledge of how limited his appreciation of the
miracle of
life really is.
