A widows ring,, a black band of mourning, added to my ring finger helped me to accept my loss. The ring is a visible touchable symbol of my grief and promises to "remember".....
When I 1st put the ring on - was the 1st time I rembered how to 'breath" again. This idea is not for every widow or widower, it was right for me.

" I have been a widow for 7 months. I really like the idea of a mourning ring. I never heard of it before. A girlfriend said she heard of making wedding ring(s) into cross to wear on a chain around your neck. I like the idea, but probably too expensive for me to even consider. Right now it feels right to still wear my wedding ring. "

" I feel the same way about the tattoo I got in remberence of my husband. It is a shell withthe ocean and sand around it. In the middle is a banner with his name on it. I can see it, touch it, rub it and it always will be there. Just like my love for him. I miss him. tody is his 55th birthday. "
