  • I'm sorry to hear that Andrew, I know exactly what that's like - gut wrenchingly horrible.

    I hope you have some luck with your ring - even if they have to melt it down and recast it, I'm sure they can do it.

    I have a friend who lost two wives in about 16years, He had both rings melted down and made them into one. It can be done!!!

  • Hi Andrew,

    For me it was nine months,  I had actually kept my wife's ring and was wearing that too, along with another ring on my other hand.  My new profession in the ambulance service stipulated 1 single plain wedding band could be worn.  When I started my first day at work, I took them all off and they never went back on.  It may sound awful, but for me this was a huge part of moving on with my life and felt very significant. I keep both of the rings together and I kind if like that,  since me and my wife can't be.
