If two guys are married, and one guy dies, is the remaining guy considered a widow, a widower, or some other word with less gender-specific associations? The question also applies to two women being married but it came up in the context of discussing Steve Cortez, an NPC in Mass Effect 3 whose husband died sometime before the game began.
