So sorry for your loss. Since your spouse passed away in 2021, when you filed your 2021 tax return it was fine to file a joint return. When you file your 2022 return next year in 2023, you will file Single, unless you have dependent children. If you have dependent children then you can file as a Qualified Widow(er) for the next two years following the loss of your spouse.
