Single Mother means "Single", as in a Never-married mother.

Write this down somewhere safe.

As at when she became a Mother, was she married or single? Yes or No? If she was not single, then she is not a Single Mother. She is a Widow who has kids or children. Let me ask you. Is your 80 years old grandmother now a Single Mother because your grandfather has died?

Just Dey Play.

Be honest to yourself. Your refer to a Widow with a child as a single mother, only when you consider her young or middle aged. That shows how flawed that categorization is.

Don't be too quick to reply without checking properly to avoid embarrassing and making yourself look and sound ignorant.

The first two definitions are from the Dictionary.
Only the last one is from Wikipedia; that's why I included its link.

You have quoted from Dictionary and Wikipedia. Very good. It shows you are a Researcher who can see what others say. But, what do you Say? Nothing else?

One sees where the OP is coming from.

Perhaps, to say that a widow deserves more regard than being grouped with 'single mother' women who have kids outside wedlock because she originally had a husband.

Alternatively, maybe single parent? undecided

Actually, I don't need to say anything else when there is more than needed evidence.
