A
year ago I thought about taking my rings off but I just wasn’t ready. It was almost four years but it didn’t feel
right to me.
More
time has passed and it will soon be five years that I went from wife to widow
and lately I’ve put more thought into my wedding rings.
The
wedding ring symbolizes our love for our spouses and afterwards it’s a comfort
as a reminder of our love. It can also
stop unwanted advances as we grieve.
Some
widows move their rings to their other hand or pass their rings on to someone
they feel close to such as a daughter or granddaughter.
In
the end I took it to a jeweler and had them made into two pendants – one for me
and one for our daughter. I cannot lie,
it was hard to take them off but once I dropped them off I felt at peace and
the decision was made.
I
just picked them up this week and I love what they did. I will let our daughter have her pick because
it doesn’t matter to me. No matter what I will always have one of them to wear
and with it I will have all its love and memories.
