Give her her time to grieve. This is a great loss to her, that to her is the same (or maybe worse than) as her husband dying. She found meaning and happiness in being with him and can't stand the thought of being without him. Even though she says you two will probably never speak again, these are words coming from someone who is hurting deeply. You two have a close bond that can't be severed so easily. Through the years she's trusted you enough to call you when she was so miserable and hopeless that she was contemplating just ending it all.
People like that really don't want to die, they feel like it's their only option in a dismal existence. They want someone to talk them out of it and show that they care. They want/NEED a reason to keep going. I don't think she's going to give up such a close friendship, in fact, she'll most likely need your support again. She just needs space right now.

'Cause if it IS, don't kill him completely. I want him to be alive while I sodomize him with a rental car.
