Widow. The word consumes itself.

Summary

This quote suggests that the word "widow" holds within it the pain, sorrow, and loss associated with the experience of becoming a widow. It implies that the term encapsulates the entire essence and burden of being a widow, portraying a devastation that cannot fully be expressed or described. The word "consumes" suggests that the label or identity of being a widow overwhelms and engulfs one's being, leading to a sense of being defined and shaped by this profound personal loss.

Religions are, by definition, metaphors, after all: God is a dream, a hope, a woman, an ironist, a father, a city, a house of many rooms, a watchmaker who left his prize chronometer in the desert, someone who loves you - even, perhaps, against all evidence, a celestial being whose only interest is to make sure your football team, army, business, or marriage thrives, prospers, and triumphs over all opposition.
