Anon's feelings sound more like survivor's guilt than hot-for-my-friend's- spouse guilt. Friend is dead, recognizing a mutual attraction probably makes S and Anon feel alive - boom, guilt -- it's not really about the sex.

Seems to me that widows/ers often remarry (or have relationships with) their spouse's friends.

That probably happens because the loss of the person they both loved strengthens the bond. Mourning is a very isolating experience and it's difficult to have a relationship with someone who doesn't understand that kind of grief.
Since you both are still living and might not be tomorrow, the attraction is apparent, and nothing makes you feel quite so alive as great sex, I agree with ABBA. Act on it.
