You also better be prepared for a lot of instant closes.

I had a few difficult moments when matches assumed I was divorced but found out I was widowed. It's a real conversation stopper.

So I made some changes on my profile and indicated I was widowed and that seemed to alleviate that problem. Did it cause some of my matches to close me out? I don't know, but better sooner than later. So yes, put it in your profile somewhere.
Tweet, MelMan and Mr. Flyer have it right.

Best to get it out there, in your Most Influential Person right up front.

There will be some that close you; some were disappointed when a widow rejected them in the past. They don't accept it as personal rejection, and prefer to believe a widow was just carrying the torch.

You don't want or need that kind; best weed them out right up front.

I consider my late husband the Most Influential Person in my life, and I would look with favor on any person who said the same of their late spouse. A person who loved and was loved.....and had a good marriage for many years.....that person has hidden strengths that stand them in good stead when circumstances force one to start over.

Good Luck to you.
