What is the opposite of widow for example if John and Mary are married and John dies then Mary is John's widow but what is John to Mary?
The deceased spouse remains the spouse, so the deceased would be referred to as "husband" or as "wife" after the spouse died. So for example: Mary was newly widowed, her husband having died last month. The widower, John, freely admitted he still loved and missed his wife. The widow met the widower at a church social six months after her husband and his wife, respectively, had died of natural causes. In the 1800s a widower married soon after burying his wife, especially if there were minor children. A widow in the 1800s was less likely to remarry after her husband's death, unless she too had minor children. However, widow and widower are not "opposites", but simply terms used to describe the marital/legal status of someone who, while still married, experienced the death of the spouse. Widow and Widower, therefore, are descriptive terms just like Single, Married, Divorced, Never Married. Each denotes a different relational state.
