Just wondering if theres any practical advice for looking after widows.
Have a widowed lady in church and been asked to help her with her garden, me and another church member have been going once a week to clear her backyard.
Shes recovering from an operation and so she cant really do much at all and is housebound.
The only thing is I noticed that widows can be set in their ways and hold on to all their stuff!!! To the point where it almost becomes a huge mountain! We are not going to touch whats inside her house, but is kind of overwhelming to us esp when she says she wants to sell the house and move.
Another widowed lady that I know has a house too big for her again and cant sell to a smaller place cos her son still lives with her and shes constantly talking about it but it wont happen and shes always battling with the next door neighbours tree.
How do you deal with widows? Sometimes its like they just stuck in this place, and its probably reminding them too much of their husbands who have passed away.
