The sudden death of a partner while expecting a child is so universally understood as awful that I don't think anyone with any other weight to carry is going to get to same kind of sympathy - except perhaps people who lose a child.

Plan your own vacations when you want to, and plan a suitable combined vacation with this other family when you want to.
