Lyubov never married. Later in her life she became estranged from her mother and moved out of their house.[2] In 1913, after a trip abroad for medical treatment, Lyubov decided to stay there, and she lived abroad until her death in 1926.[2] At that period she was also known by the name Aimée Dostoyevskaya (Russian: Эме Достоевская).[3] She died in Italy of pernicious anemia.[3]
Although Lyubov Dostoevskaya was Orthodox, the funeral rite was Catholic by mistake.[4] A simple wooden cross on her grave was soon replaced by a small porphyry tomb. In 1931 Italia Letteraria magazine suggested that since Dostoevskaya was buried in Italy, it was the Italian government that should establish a memorial.[4] In December 1931 a granite pedestal was constructed, with an epitaph written by the editor of Venezia Tridentina magazine.[4] Resting place of Fyodor Dostoevsky's daughter in Gries has been preserved after cemetery reconstruction.[3] Her tomb was moved to Bolzano city's cemetery in 1957.
