Loss is ever an easy subject to discuss, as there is no parameter to measure the pain brought with loss, nor is there one fixed way of addressing the anguish. Especially the loss of a spouse, with which is attached an ache that is entirely unexplainable.

Considering that the society we live in is strongly patriarchal in nature, a woman’s losing her spouse becomes even more complicated.
As a woman she is required to grieve but perhaps not as openly as she might like to, she is required to stay at home for around 3 months which means has to stay indoors the whole time and can barely divert her mind even if she wants to.

The challenges of a widow are many, but the latest episode of Conversations with Kanwal was focused on dealing with the loss of a spouse. Needless to say, it is a topic not widely discussed, so an episode on it was more than necessary.
Kudos to Kanwal for touching upon subjects that are often brushed under the rug and considered either too insignificant or too taboo to discuss openly.
Have you seen the episode? Tell us what you think, and tell us if and how it helped you cope with any kind of loss you may have faced in life.
