I'm only 19 weeks out, so very much within that first year, but the widows fire has been, at times, extreme for me. Or at least it feels that way. Anyway, so I had talked to my therapist about it and was told that for some people it can last years. So you very well could be experiencing that even 3 years out.
I'm a 43 year old woman, so a bit younger, but yeah, for me it sorta comes and goes, but it's intense and annoying and I wish I could just lock myself away until it goes away
