Editorial policy

How content is produced

Content on Widowed Love is AI-assisted and human-edited. Drafts are produced with the help of AI tools, then reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by our editorial team before publication.

Sourcing & statistics

Every statistic we publish is verified against a primary source (the original study, government data, or the company's own reporting) and named in the same sentence it appears. The full list lives on our sources page and statistics page. Numbers we cannot trace to a primary source do not get published.

Corrections

Found an error? Email editors@widowedlove.com. We correct factual errors within a week, note the correction on the affected page, and update the page's modified date honestly — it only changes when the content substantively changes.

Ownership & funding

Widowed Love is an independent publication. Some links are affiliate links: if you sign up through them we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Affiliate status never changes a verdict, and every affiliate link is marked.

AI transparency

The images on this site are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs. That includes the portrait of our contributor, which is a generated likeness made from a real photograph and published with his permission — the person, his name and his experience are real. We allow AI crawlers to read this site (see robots.txt and llms.txt), and welcome citation of our work with attribution and a link.
