Young or old or somewhere in between – you are a widow.
Committed to each other for a few months, or the whole of your life – you are a widow.
Living together or living apart – you are a widow
Going through tough times when they died – you are a widow.
Queer or straight – you are a widow.
Cis, trans, non-binary, gender fluid – you are a widow.
Childless, child-free, have lost children or with children – you are a widow.
Got another partner or are dating or haven't got another partner – you are a widow.
Days in or decades in – you are a widow.
