Ask Father:

Question: Father, can a person who was married outside the Church and been widowed receive Communion?
Answer: It depends on a great many circumstances. Is the person remarried? Was that marriage blessed in the church? Is there some other impediment? If it were just that a person was in a marriage that was not blessed by the church and has been widowed, then there should be no reason why he or she could not come to Communion. I usually tell people to just come by for Confession so we can ask questions and talk about the situation. This allows us to clarify matters and correct any misconceptions. Once someone is absolved, the person is ready for the Eucharist.
