"Widows should embrace their independence, free from the charity and obligations of the community. After all, doesn’t resilience mean going it alone?"

But Scripture paints a very different picture, showing us that the widow’s journey isn’t meant to be walked alone. In James1:27 it says: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” This verse reminds us that genuine faith means actively caring for those who are most vulnerable, including widows, whose burdens should be lightened by those around them—not ignored in the name of independence.
