I think on this occaision Rashi can be ignored, Mmm?. And as for being a childless widow, Mmm....can one be childless above 14 years old do you think? And a 14 year old wondering the desert by herself?

Bear in mind that many of the biblical heroines, Rebekah, Rachel, Lea, Ruth, Esther, were just little girls (if I correctly remembers Rashi says Rebekah was 3 years old when she married Isaac, then she was "childless"). The fact that Ruth was still a childless widow at the time, means she was about 14 years old. How old was Naomi? I would say about 30.
