A widow must accept her life as a challenge and face it with fortitude. A widow does not have to stay silent, to stop smiling, or isolate herself from every kind of happiness. The plight of many poor widows in our country is pitiable. Their in-laws are seldom sympathetic towards them. While rich widows can lead an independent life, widows from poor houses can only work as maid servants.
Comforts become a mere dream for such widows.
