Re: Life of a Widow

Widows have to behave such that they don’t get such ‘nasty’ comments from people around. My mom has stopped wearing bright colours, stopped dying her hair, stopped wearing any jewellery etc so that people don’t think that she is living ‘very happily’ after my dad’s death. We have to force her to live normally and give a damn to what people say. The usual log kia kahain gey thing bothers us desi people a lot. My mom is not a young widow and still have dread about such behaviour of people. Living as normally as possible affects the overall attitude of widows as well as their children (if any). We need to see our mom strong and not going away from life as we have already lost our dad and need to have our mom with us in a normal way if possible.

why does people consider it sin?
