Dear Queenie,
After my husband died my mother said I should stop wearing my wedding ring because I’m not married anymore.
Queenie, is she right?—Grieving Widow
Dear Widow,
You may wear your wedding ring as long as you like, especially if it gives you comfort in your time of loss.
However, if and when you are ready to start socialising again and open to the possibility of developing a new relationship, you might want to put it away, or at least not wear it on your hand – perhaps on a chain around your neck?
