Top answer
Figuratively, the wife can't wrap her head around (ie can't understand and accept) the death of her husband. Literally, the husband wrapped his head around a lamp-post (and smashed his head in). The police officer thinks his graphic comment will make her feel better (ie console her) but really it will make her very upset.
