As for your saying that you have sons, your sons will be taken care of.

شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي
عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : اخْتَلَفَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا إِذَا وَضَعَتْ حَمْلَهَا ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ : تُزَوَّجُ ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : أَبْعَدَ الْأَجَلَيْنِ ، فَبَعَثُوا إِلَى
أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، فَقَالَتْ : " تُوُفِّيَ زَوْجُ سُبَيْعَةَ ، فَوَلَدَتْ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ زَوْجِهَا بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ نِصْفِ شَهْرٍ ، قَالَتْ : فَخَطَبَهَا رَجُلَانِ ، فَحَطَّتْ بِنَفْسِهَا إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا ، فَلَمَّا خَشُوا أَنْ تَفْتَاتَ بِنَفْسِهَا ، قَالُوا : إِنَّكِ لَا تَحِلِّينَ ، قَالَتْ : فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " قَدْ حَلَلْتِ ، فَانْكِحِي مَنْ شِئْتِ " .
´Abu Salamah said:` "Abu Hurairah and Ibn 'Abbas differed concerning the widow who gives birth after her husband's death. Abu Hurairah said: 'She may be married.' Ibn 'Abbas said: '(She has to wait) for the longer of the two periods.' They sent word to Umm Salamah and she said: 'The husband of Subai'ah died and she gave birth fifteen days -half a month- after her husband died.' She said: 'Two men proposed marriage to her, and she was inclined toward one of them. When they feared that she was becoming single-minded (on this issue, and not consulting her family), they said: It is not permissible for you to marry. She went to the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'It is permissible for you to marry, so marry whomever you want.''"
