I think that's something that you should know: There are no rules for this. It's not the kind of thing that once you take it off you can never put it back on. I wore mine on my right hand for several months, and then when it got hot this summer couldn't get it off at night (I always took it off at night, even when Sawan was alive) so I stopped wearing it altogether by necessity. But I still give myself the freedom to put it back on if I want. And, I have widow friends who are remarried that still wear their first husband's ring on their right hand, so THERE ARE NO RULES. Wear it as long as you want, my friend, and don't hurry.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13714541394769902623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610793243623090328.post-58011051589101720052011-10-04T06:21:45.661-07:002011-10-04T06:21:45.661-07:00I didn't know how else to get this message to ...I didn't know how else to get this message to you, so I understand if you don't approve it for comments, however, I wanted to let you know I have listed your blog on my blog's page in my Blogroll.

I love the truth of this particular post; the way it reveals an apparent indecision. The putting the ring away, the taking the ring back out is what is real. It is your "is". The "should I" or "shoudn't I" is a place of trust; knowing that whatever the answer will be, you are enveloped by our God who is ok with the answer you come to and more than ok with you and who you are.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540366568908543839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610793243623090328.post-11183557942113000302011-10-03T11:04:14.615-07:002011-10-03T11:04:14.615-07:00You continue to stay in my thoughts and prayers.

I've been debating the if/when do I take off my wedding ring for a while. I finally decided it was going to be when, not if. I had thought I'd take it off altogether, because if he can't wear his anymore, I won't wear mine either. I thought, "I don't want mine to show a lot more wear than his does. We wore these rings (matching bands) together, as a married couple", and it's been a year now since he's been gone. Then, not sure if I could bear not wearing it at all, I thought that maybe I'd just switch it to my right hand for awhile, but I'm still not sure about that. So for now, no matter which way I decide, the main question has become, "When?" Do I "Just Do It", as the Nike ads would say, or do I wait for some day which has significance in our relationship, such as the date I met him, or the date of our first date, or New Year's Day? (All of those dates are coming up in the next three months.) The mental debate continues. Perhaps I'll do as you did, and just give it a try - take it off for awhile, or put it on the other hand. A trial run, just to see how it feels, just to see if I'm ready. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. Maybe my heart will let me know the right day. I hope so, because my brain isn't being very helpful.Patty Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420301158395351576noreply@blogger.com
