when our ancestors were brought from africa, they had some some base religion, a spiritual foundation. it was that foundation that got them through the hard times they had to endure. somewhere through the years, some our people have got away from our religious footing. so many of us are lacking in spiritual guidance, that is why we have 28 year-old grannies (which is like
). i think if spirituality got back into the minds/hearts/souls of our people, this type of thing wouldn't happen.
but, since it is happening and you asked how to support them, i think we need to let them know that their life isn't over and that they have still have doors open to them. because, and i know i have no statistics to back this up, but these 28 year old grandparents are probably high school drop-outs or people who have never gone to college. these people need to know that they still can do things with their lives, outside of being a mother and grandmother.
