I am very sorry to hear your sad story.

Article 12 applies to you. You've been married for more than one year, so it appears to apply. If that is the case, your rights of residence do not appear to be affected.

However, if you wish to obtain an independent right of permanent residence you would need to be a worker, student or self-employed person. There is a difference between the two.

It's a little late this evening and this is not something that I am intimately familiar with, but please read article 12 of the directive.

The 2006 regulations say this.

“Family member who has retained the right of residence”
10.—(1) In these Regulations, “family member who has retained the right of residence” means,
subject to paragraph (8), a person who satisfies the conditions in paragraph (2), (3), (4) or (5).
(2) A person satisfies the conditions in this paragraph if—
(a) he was a family member of a qualified person when the qualified person died;
(b) he resided in the United Kingdom in accordance with these Regulations for at least the
year immediately before the death of the qualified person; and
(c) he satisfies the condition in paragraph (6).

and this

10 (6) The condition in this paragraph is that the person—
(a) is not an EEA national but would, if he were an EEA national, be a worker, a self-employed person or a self-sufficient person under regulation 6; or
(b) is the family member of a person who falls within paragraph (a).

and this

Extended right of residence
14 (3) A family member who has retained the right of residence is entitled to reside in the United
Kingdom for so long as he remains a family member who has retained the right of residence.

You could also read this guidance, go to page 38

The guidance along with the regulations imply that they would expect you to be a worker or self-sufficient person to retain rights of residence.
