Decisions

I lived in Glenside in the 70s. Haven't been back since. I now live in Dallas, TX, Also called the Big D.
God bless you TogetherForever. It has been 2 years, and I am just now reaching the point where I am thinking about removing my wedding ring. I plan to wear it around my neck as a reminder of my beloved wife.

I have stopped wearing my wedding ring, but I wear Terry's wedding ring on my right hand, with a ring that Terry had given me years ago.

I went back and forth with my wedding ring. Sometimes wearing it, sometimes not. At times it was comforting and other times it felt like a lie--I'm not married anymore why wear a wedding ring. My grief counselor told me there were no rules. If I wanted to wear it, wear it; if not, then don't. For now, I am not wearing my wedding ring, but I know that could change. and, it's ok.

that is true. I agree. With grief there are no rules. It is different for each person.
