"Why is she gone?" Is the grammer right? I have never seen the sentense like this. Could someone can help me to realize?
Why did she go? Why has she gone? Why was she gone? Which one is correct?

"Why is she gone"? is asking why is she not here as in "gone". It is asking "Why" and not "where did she go"?
"Why did she go"? is asking where did she go, not necessarily asking "Why isn't she here". It is asking for a location
"Why has she gone"? sounds like the first one except "has" isn't necessary, but nothing wrong with either of them.
"Why was she gone"? is asking for the reason why she was not here.

Gramatically, meaning if you look at the parts of speech of each word, they are all correctly structured. "Is" is a linking verb, and "gone" serves as its predicate adjective. "She" is the subject. So you have a subject and a linking verb properly connected to a predicate adjective. Therefore "Why is she gone?" is correct gramatically. "Why was she gone?" is technically correct, as well, as are they all, but probably doesn't convey the meaning you are attempting to convey. Hope this helps you.

I imagine someone crying...an Italian Mom ...Her daughter died, and she is wailing saying the following: " Why is she gone?"
Sounds all right to me.

All what you say is correct, not "why is she gone"
