If you were happily married for 20-30, and it ended when because someone got sick and died, that's about as successful as it gets. Sure people are happily married for longer, but that's increasingly rare these days.
And let's say that your older husband dies when you are in your 50s. Is that so much worse than getting divorced in your 50s, which is what literally half of you will be doing anyway? At least the dead guy will leave you all of his assets without a court battle.
This!
