When Do You Take Off The Rings?
- Q: My wife has been dead six years now, and even though I’ve dated off and on, I still haven’t been able to remove my wedding ring. When and how should I do so?
- A: The timetable for removing a wedding ring after a spouse’s death is completely personal. No etiquette can guide the “proper” time to remove it.
Some widows and widowers wear their first-marriage rings to their own graves, even after they’ve remarried. Ask a dozen of them how they made the decision, and you’ll hear a dozen different stories/Catherine Johnston & Rebecca Nappi, End Notes, Spokesman Review. More here.
