grass widower.

I thought a grass widow was a woman separated from her husband for whatever
reason...vacation or divorce both qualify. My source is, strangely enough,
a mystery, _The Grass-Widow's Tale_, which relates Bunty's adventures while
her husband is absent during a murder investigation. Ellis Peters (of
Brother Cadfael fame) wrote this series of mysteries centered around a
Shropshire family.

You are all probably right. I'm not expert on grass widowhood. Margaret L
