It sounds like an opportunity for widows to network with each other which may help reduce their sense of isolation. I can remember many widows who lived alone during the years I spent in Saligao. I wonder how they coped - if they could afford to, they may have had someone come in to keep them company overnight but many were alone by day and night.
