Can I file as qualifying widower?

Can I file as a qualifying widower for 2017 if my husband passed away in 2016, I filed married filing jointly for 2016, I did not claim our son as a dependent for 2016, and for 2017 my son lives with me full time, I provide over half of his support, he is a citizen, he was born in 1995 (22 at the end of 2017), claimed himself as a dependent in 2017 with income of $16,000, did not attend school and my total income is $35,000 for 2017?
