Bereaved wife (5)

I believe the answer is:

widow

(Other definitions for widow that I've seen before include "one now free to marry" , "The Merry --, operetta" , "See 20" , "Black -----, cannibalistic venomous spider" , "Woman whose husband has died" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
