Well, you did add a "probably".
My daughter's new husband is a guy she went to school with, a widower himself. Almost 2 years after her first husband's death, they renewed their friendship. Sounds like a fairy tale but I assure you its real.
Our daughter visited here over the Father's Day week end (She lives about 300 miles from me and her mother) my son-in-law couldn't come, he had to work.
Yes, adding the probably is appropriate. There is no one size fits all.
It’s sad that they both had to experience being widows, but their reconnecting is a lovely story.
All the best.
