The little things are going to be the hardest

[jducoeur]

I just went to my Facebook page, and realized another little trauma that I'll have to deal with eventually. I've been putting off removing my wedding ring -- I'll have to eventually (maybe after the Memorial Service), but that's *hard*. And now I realize that someday I'm going to have to change my FB Relationship Status to "single". I'm honestly unsure which of those is going to be more difficult. There are dangers in being sensitive to symbolism, and both of these are powerful symbols -- one very classic, one very modern.

(I *am* still having a broadly good week. But the little notes of melancholy still lurk around the edges...)

I am a year ahead of you, and I still choose to wear my rings. That is a personal decision. You should remove rings and change status only if and when you are ready to do so.

Someone else of the Club No One Wants to Join told me about WidowNet.org. I hope it may be helpful to you.

Take care, and be good to yourself.
