No, this would compromise their mission duties- however, in special cases widows have been permitted to enter religious orders- as is the case with Catholics- The Grand Duchess Elisabeth ( Aunt Betty to Anastasia)- the sister of the Czar, was one such case, she was horribly murdered by NKVD men and her body- with some others tossed down a garbage chute- and miraculously- recovered basically intact.
