earthling<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/photography" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@photography</a> Clad mostly in white and abstaining from celebrations, widows can be seen as bad luck. Many do not have identity cards and cannot vote, so are ignored by the authorities, leaving them excluded from welfare and support services. Many women in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vrindavan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vrindavan</a> struggle with depression, loneliness and isolation. They can find it hard to make friends, often longing for their past lives and blaming themselves for their misfortune. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#India</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#women</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/widows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#widows</a>
