posthumous
/ˈpɒs.tʃə.məs/adjective
Definitions
Born after the death of one's father.
Example: Posthumous orphans never even knew their fathers.
After the death of someone
Example: Usage note: Posthumous awards are made when the intended recipient dies as a result of the action which merits the award. Even a short time lag between the action and the decision may cause the award to be conferred after death or there may be a longer delay such as when a review board decides to confer an award decades after a war has ended but such awards while they may be post mortem (literally, "after death") are not posthumous awards.
Taking place after one's own death
Example: Artists obscure during their life often receive posthumous recognition, too late for them to enjoy.
In reference to a work, published after the author's death.
Example: His memoirs were his posthumous revenge on enemies he dared not take on alive.
