Just want to ask you guys... although I am still preparing for my documents for my I-751 (I have to file income tax next week so that I can include it in my package)... I am also looking at the form for N-400 and it says there that if you want to apply for a citizenship, you must stay married to the same petitioner for 3 years...

I was married barely 2 years... does that mean I have to wait for the 5th year to apply for citizenship?

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss.

Secondly, though I think that under normal circumstances yes, you'd have to wait the five years, IF your spouse died while in active military service, then I don't believe you would be required to wait. Check out the Guide to Naturalization for more information.
