You might want to check with a priest. If there are no other impediments, you can go to confession and remarry in the Church. Not to do so is to remain in an objective state of mortal sin.

If your wife has not been married before, it should be easy to rectify, and you don't have to pay for canon lawyers.

You are a widower now, but I would ask your priest about it.

Check with a priest about having your remarriage blessed.

I think if the ex spuse has passed you would be freed at that point.

Strictly speaking, you're living in sin. However, with the death of your wife, you're free to marry again. Take advantage of the opportunity to get yourself squared away with the Church. No need to deal with a declaration of nullity or anything of the sort. All you will be asked for is a copy of your late wife's death certificate. Not everyone gets the chance you've been offered. Don't throw it away.
