Thank you. It means a lot to have someone understand. And thank you for the welcome. I have struggled for the last 8 months without anyone in my circle of friends that understand what I'm going through. I found this forum and have gained a lot of peace and help through the messages I have read. I appreciate that this exists. And to everyone out there that has had a loss, I send you my prayers and best wishes. Sus

October 2015, I suddenly lost the love of my life after 13 years together and 2 kids. I struggle everyday still but taking care of our young kids has kept me going. His legacy has become my driving force. But my question to you all, who are in the same boat, is do you wear your wedding ring(s)? Is it weird that I won't take mine off? I feel like there is a category for single-no ring(s). A category for married-ring(s). And a category for divorced-get rid of the ring(s). But I don't fit any of those. I guess in my mind I feel like I fit into "married" still. He didn't divorce me. I'm not a "single mother" by the standard definition. He didn't decide to leave me, and I'm still married to him in my heart. So... does anyone else feel like I'm weird? Or does anyone think I'm okay for how I feel?
