Sorry for your loss. You don't have to file on the 90th day before your green card expires - as long as you file within 90 days. If your card will still be valid when you return, it may be better to file the application to remove the conditions when you return.

If your card has not yet expired there should not be an issue traveling. Once you file the I-751 you will get an original receipt which authorizes work and travel for another year. After that if still not approved you can get a passport stamp authorizing work and travel.

I am sorry for your loss. You can still travel abroad if your conditional card is still valid but you must return prior to expiration of the card. Once you return, you can then file the FORM I-751 prior to expiration of the resident card. Good luck to you.
