Ms. or Mrs. for widow (recent)

I think I would rather use Mrs. because it was fairly recent but what is the proper etiquette and what are you doing?

I believe Mrs. is the right way, but I could be wrong

Re: Ms. or Mrs. for widow (recent)

ok so definately MRs. but I am definately not going to put it as her husband's first name, Just Mrs. her first and last name (which was theirs together of course)

Thanks!!

My mother is obsessed with Emily Post, etc. and made us to Mrs. John Smith for widows, instead of Mrs. Mary Smith.

So bizarre, but that's what she claims, and we did it.
