Wedding Rings

Hello to all,

As with "oh so many other things", deciding what to do with our wedding rings and when is up to each one of us. This may or it may not be a big decision point for you. If this topic interests you, read on.

Decision point 1: How long do I wear my wedding ring?

Answer: That is up to you.

After my husband passed away, I read a "widow book" and the author stated that a widow is no longer married and taking the ring off within the year was most appropriate. I remember that really bothered me at the time for although I was widowed for several months I still felt married and the thought of taking off my wedding ring just felt wrong.

At the one year mark, I was ready and lovingly placed my rings along with my husbands in a special place.

Decision point 2: What should you do with your wedding ring? Should you save for a child, make into a pendent, do nothing.

Answer: I think you know already...It is up to you.

As you continue on your personal life journey, rediscovering yourself, making new choices and feeling more and more empowered these answers and many many others will be clearer to you.

Now after 4 years, I have found a special friend (who is also a spectacular jewelry designer and understands how important this is to me) and she is lovingly creating a beautiful pendent with my wedding diamond. I look forward to wearing it again.

What feels right for you?

Warmly,

Colleen
