Loosing one’s partner is a very painful experience. For most of the Indian widows, whether old or young, this state creates a condition of loneliness, void and emptiness in the world. And, if you do not have a comforting family to back you, your life can be miserable. We have observed plenty of abandoned widows in Vrindavan who are left by their families and are instructed not to return again. Being a widow is not easy in this world. There is a bigger responsibility that you have to bore on your shoulders. You have to be financially independent because there will be no one to look after you.
In India, there are many opportunities of widows that give them a chance to make their living and stand on their own in the world again. There are many elder care homes in Vrindavan which not only look after these widows but they also ensure that these widows are given the chance to avail educational opportunities and create a living for themselves.
The widows in these elder care homes are able to socialise well and as we say that the grief and loss of a widow is only understood by a widow. At these institutions, these widows get a chance to talk to similar females and relax themselves. When they work together, they can encourage everyone to work for their own betterment.
