Sorry, I haven’t been on here for a while but I do have a question. It will be 8 months next week since my husband died. At the moment, I am still wearing both my wedding and engagement rings. They are beautiful and I love them and don’t really want to take them off. But, on the other hand, I am not married any more so feel that maybe wearing them looks fake or like I’m in denial.
Please could I ask any of you on here who have taken off your rings, how long after your spouse’s death did you do do?
