6 Ways You Can Take Care Of A Widow by phayteaspulse: 11:53am On Jun 26, 2018 |
It was International Widows' Day some days ago and in Nigeria, we have heard stories about how some widows are made to struggle or suffer once they lose their husband. Do you think we need to do more about how widows are treated? While so NGO'S have been helpful, there are things we can also do as individuals to ensure widows around us are being treated well. Number One : Respect A Widow A widow is first a human being and should never be mocked or looked down on. It is sad to hear that some communities still enforce certain traditional rules on widows without any care for their feelings. Widows deserve to be respected because hurting their feelings means leaving the wounds constantly open. Number Two: Empower A Widow There are already a lot of individuals and organisations standing in the gap and ensuring widows acquire skills that can help them earn a living. We can empower widows by offering to pay the cost of acquiring skills like sewing, catering and even hair making. There are a lot of skills that can be offered to widows. Its is always better to show people how to earn a living so that they do not always have to come to you for help.
