After the sudden death of my husband, people suggest that I should remarry to cope with life's challenges. However, I believe that the hardships are a test of my patience so that I may deserve eternal companionship with him in the afterlife. Am I right?

Bismihi ta'ala
As sad as it may be to lose a spouse, remarrying is completely your choice, and it will not undermine your loyalty to your marhum husband. Loneliness is never good, so if the opportunity arises that you can marry a noble, caring, pious and religious man, you should do so. This will certainly not affect who you will be in the afterlife, in Heaven, in shaa Allah.
Life is challenging, and having a partner of good choice will assist you in everything coming ahead of you, in shaa Allah.
And Allah knows best
