war widows
Soldiers' grieving spouses
War widows are women whose husbands died in military service.
The term carries particular weight in contexts of veterans' benefits, pensions, and memorial recognition.
War widows received a small monthly stipend from the government.
The compound emphasizes the cause of widowhood—death in combat or military duty rather than illness or accident.
