Water (Cultural/Spiritual Perspective)

The widows believe that this is normal and expected once their husband dies. They are expected to accept that they are no use to the world or their culture/religion anymore. Even though they are forced into this lifestyle, they still believe in their God. They still believe in some higher power that forgives and loves them more than anyone else. I think that is what is keeping the women sane. They still have hope that their lives will get better. When Chuyia entered into the women's lives, she reminded them that they do not have to accept this lifestyle and neither does she. She brings hope to some of the women and igniting their power that they forgot they had.
