Mac Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I can't remember exactly when I removed my wedding ring. It was probably just over a year or so after Cindy passed. It's been six years now since she left this earth. And yet occasionally, I'll be walking out on a trail, and I'll have a sudden moment of concern, wondering what happened to my ring.

Julester3 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It is weird not to have one on anymore and I get confused too sometimes just as you described. I don't wear my wedding ring, engagement ring, or my anniversary band either. I transitioned to a fashionable silver ring for a time to wear on the left hand but my middle finger but more often I don't wear anything at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 i think my rings were finally and completely off my fingers a few months before the two year mark. I notice I’ve started wearing other rings instead, ones long-neglected in my jewelry box from before I was married. Maybe they keep me from feeling like my fingers are too ‘naked’? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I wore my ring only a few times after Phil died. It hurt me more than it helped. To me it represented everything I lost. My life was forever changed, so I wanted to change the meaning of my ring too. I had my diamond solitaire set into the center of a custom white gold heart pendant. He'll always be a part of my heart. I love wearing my pendant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfeather Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I had my ring and Christine's ring merged together into a new ring that I wear on my right hand. I do not wear it all the time but it is very nice to have. Her wedding ring was one of her most prized possessions and I did not want her ring to spend the rest of my life in a box on my dresser. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tybec Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My wedding ring..... My LH had found a jeweler he used. My LH was an aircraft mechanic and the jeweler has his own little prop plane, so they could talk shop. Well, LH started getting me pieces here and there, nothing very expensive as that is not me. When he died, the jeweler's wife wrote me a card telling me the story of my LH taking my son, about age 5 and letting him pick something for me for Christmas. My son found something, and she looked over at my husband as it was more expensive, I guess, than he typically spent or something, and my LH said, "Wrap it up for your Momma!" She noted it was a sweet situation to observe, and she would never forget my LH because of it. I have since seen a similar commercial on tv like that! She was kind to take the time to write me that story. Well, I have my wedding ring and the jeweler has done a lot of repair work on it and other pieces. So, I want to have it made into something else and take another ring he got me and somehow design them together. I went in at about 4 yrs. to fix my watch, and I started to tell him what I wanted to do and burst into tears. I am still waiting to go do it, but have to be able to do so. <sigh> LH had his wedding band redone. He designed it how he liked it. He could never wear it due to his job, though. So, I am keeping that band and maybe our son will want it just that way since it is a one of kind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
