Abstract
Life is an amalgam of joys and sorrows. Sometime sorrows serve as blessings in disguise as they force us to recognize hidden potential during the time of crises. Widowhood is such an unbearable torturous experience of life, which may otherwise provides an opportunity to navigate her strengths and to capitalize upon them while facing the adversities of life. However such insurmountable sufferings give meaning to a life – a growth in an actual sense. Thus the present study is an attempt to explore and highlight the inner strengths i.e. self efficacy and hope among widows which may serve as a resource for the post traumatic growth.
