On how she copes with widowhood, she said that she has become more outgoing (social functions, parties, hang-outs). A wealthy man to help lessen their economic burdens, and a comfortable but less-busy man. She reasoned that most men who have the money to change a woman’s life for good hardly have time for her emotional needs. There is nobody who genuinely needs help that God does not plant someone in their space to carry out that task, but it’s often in hindsight that we realise we had a saving grace. Do you think the life that awaits you out there when a spouse dies is going to be a bed of roses?
