Often when people tell their story, they talk about their strengths and resiliency. It's really about their determination and their aspiration to survive and live.

When you're reading from a different language that's different from your own, it's not the same as being fluent.

Some people have witnessed the killing of their husbands, or they survived other horrific things. My sister is a widow but her husband was killed after the Khmer Rouge. There are different periods in which violence has occurred, and differences in how these women became widowed and how they survived afterwards.
