do you know someone who is a widow?
I do, actually. My grandmother. My grandfather's passing made me look into widows. It's a touchy subject, and apparently the treatment of widows and widowers varies greatly throughout the world.

In my grandmother's case, and as with a lot of cases with widows, it's tough when the husband passes, because often they're the only provider, so they're left to be destitute.

But luckily in some parts of the world, especially in patriarchal societies, they're granted economic independence to maintain, and they keep their spouse's businesses and given other certain rights.
