Funny thing I figured out over the years: widows do not date after their spouse dies for 2 reasons: 1) they were, and still are, madly in love with their spouse, or 2) their spouse/marriage absolutely sucked and they will never ever do that again. The latter is more common.
Jessica Fletcher could count if the you can be happily married when your spouse is already dead.
She never dates again so it seems like she is still very much in love with her late husband.
