Widows are often subjected to myths due to community and societal stigmatization. Although these myths are not true, addressing them publicly can help create awareness and debunk them. Here are some common myths: 1) Widows are responsible for their husbands' deaths 2) Widows are accompanied by bad spirits and omens and should be avoided 3) Widows should not remarry unless they marry within the deceased family 4) Widows should undergo cleansing rituals to rid themselves of the supposed 'bad luck' or 'evil' associated with their husband's death 5) Children born to widows are believed to be cursed or unlucky Social stigmatization of widows based on myths leads to discrimination, physical and sexual abuse, deprivation of inheritance and property rights etc. Please free to share any common myths you know in the comments section #empowerment #widowsupport #getinvolved #africa

Let's ditch the platitudes and start offering real help, especially to widows. Saying 'let me know if you need anything' sounds nice, but it puts the burden on those grieving. Let's bridge the gap with meaningful action, not just empty words, for those who need it most #widow #widowed #widowhood #widowlife #widowsofinstagram #widowshelpingwidows #grief #griefcoach #griefshare #griefsucks #griefquotes #griefsupport #griefjourney #griefandloss #griefrecovery

Seems quite fitting for a Sunday morning post. First, I’m not one that believes in organized religion. Second, for the #transgender community, religion is often used to spread #hatred and #discrimination. And we certainly are not welcome. I know that not all religions or religious communities are the same, and there are variations in attitudes and acceptance toward trans people. However, some religious beliefs or interpretations have led to discrimination and #prejudice against us. We often face challenges in religious settings due to #conservative interpretations of religious texts. This results in #exclusion, #stigma, and emotional distress. There are also religious communities and leaders who are supportive and #inclusive of the trans community. If your church is one that advertises that all are welcome…if or except “x, y, and z”, you need a new church. If your religion teaches you to love and accept, if or except “x, y, and z” or teaches you to hate and discriminate, you need a new #religion.

Widows: Don’t Overlook The Financial Consequences of Remarrying Unfortunately, many people face the traumatic and life altering event of losing a spouse. Although this is extremely overwhelming, eventually some decide to find love again. According to the study mentioned in this article, 61% of men and 19% of women find a new relationship or remarry within 25 months of the loss of their spouse. Remarrying later in life can be complicated and has its own financial concerns.  This article shares a check list developed by a senior financial advisor after encountering numerous questions from widowed spouses. He offers general guidelines and a check list of what a surviving spouse should do in the first 24 months and what items to consider depending upon your age.
