    The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
    family.
    Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.

    When I was widowed young 25 years ago I took off my wedding ring and put it in the casket with my husband at the funeral, a symbol that my love & heart would always be with him.

    Kyle, next month will be 16 years since I lost my husband. Wearing your ring is absolutely personal choice. You will know when you are ready. For me it was 2 years. I realized it was causing me more depression and sadness than comfort. I did replace it with a different style ring because after 39 years that finger felt 'empty'. It was the right choice for me, but yes, it is each person's choice and feelings that will let you know when it's time. You are 'pre-grieving' this first Angelversary. I think all of us do . Everything is hitting you harder right now , and that too is normal. HUGS Grief is an evil, sneaky , monster.

    My husband died 10 years ago and I still wear my wedding ring most of the time. It has been a long time and I have dated and have even had a couple of serious relationships. My wedding ring is a part of me and my life’s history. Sometimes I wear it on my right hand, sometimes on my left hand. It is a part of me and I will always greave my husband’s passing. Grief has so many stages. The love never goes away so why would the grief? As the years go by you will deal with Jenny’s loss in many different ways. Jenny wanted you to eventually find someone to grow old with and I have no doubt that you will because you have shown all of us how loving and kind you are. Loss and the grief that comes with it takes time and it’s different for everyone. If wearing your wedding ring gives you peace and comfort then wear it proudly. There are no rules or right answers. We all lost Jenny so can understand in a small way what you are living with. Time does heal but the amount of time has no definition. ❤️

    My dad passed about a week after Jenny. My parents were never big on wearing their wedding rings. But my mom got a new ring a few months ago that has symbolism to her of being a widow and she wears it like a wedding ring. Everyone's different, it's about what feels best to YOU.

    My husband and I were married 73 years before he passed away. We were high school sweethearts so we actually had 75 years when he passed. I took his wedding ring and had it sized so I could wear it with my wedding band, that way he is always with me along in my heart. I am Almost 95 years old and not looking for a replacement so I will continue to wear the rings until I die.

    Your ring represents your immense love for your Jenny. It is your comfort zone and it is your way of celebrating all your the wonderful times you’ve shared with her. Don’t worry about what others think. Nobody needs to define how you should live. I can see that you are a great husband, my brother.

    My husband of 53 years died over two years ago. I still wear my wedding ring. I have no plans to take it off. He is still my husband to me. I don’t want another one. Many people have said really ignorant things. It doesn’t make me angry. I know they don’t understand. Please do whatever you need to do. That is what I do. I was with him my entire life. We met when I was 19. None of our past together went away when he died. Our children are still trying to cope from day to day. We are all struggling. I wish you had had more time with Jenny. No amount of time is really enough. Please know that you are not alone in your grief. There are many of us out here who know exactly what you are going through. I am so sorry that this happened to you, Jenny and your children. No one can decide how you feel or should feel. There is no right answer to anything you do. It breaks my heart to see your pain.

    I am honestly, so proud of you. I think the biggest step that a grieving person misses throughout the process is the step of them no longer being a couple and not learning who they are. Because when you’re married, and I didn’t lose my spouse by death lost my spouse by divorce. But when you’re married, you’re a couple everything in life is made or should be made as a couple when you lose your other half you have to relearn yourself and I think in that process people don’t learn who they are and I am so proud of you for learning who you are You’re a dad first, but you’re also learning who you are. I love how you’re just taking your time in this process and it does take time to change things I don’t think anyone gets over it. I also think sometimes people hop into a new relationship and they’re not even halfway through their process of grieving and therefore things are not gonna work. You just keep that ring on as you said you may never take it off and that’s perfectly okay. Sending you many blessings. ❤

You are a wonderful man who did his absolute best taking care of, and loving his partner. Really, you've set the bar incredibly high. How could you not want to wear your ring still? It's a beautiful show of love for the deepest connection you've ever had. All the best to you, and your children.

I am so grateful that Jen popped up randomly in my recommended videos and showed me the true meaning of what it is to be grateful and gracious. What a woman she is.
    Her impact on this world has been immeasurable and the way that you continue to spread the love and joy that she nurtured in your family is so special to me. I guess I just want to say THANK YOU! XOXO

So sorry people feel they have to ask you this question. You do what is right for you. My heart goes out to you. My daughter lost her husband 2 1/2 years ago. He was 45 when he passed. She is just beginning to come out of grief but it has been hard. Just remember a brighter day will come.

    This is such a beautiful response to people’s curiosity about your ring. I’m so glad you said it makes you feel safe and happy, I’m so proud of you for sharing and putting into words such a beautiful sentiment. You are a wonderful partner to Jenny, hang in there and I still pray for you and your family. My mother became a widow when my dad was killed in the Korean War back in 1952. She was 32 with 3 babies, 3, 1 and a newborn 3 days old. She wore her wedding ring on her left hand until the day she passed away at age 59. It was a beautiful band with 4 diamonds, and I never saw her without it. She never remarried, and when she passed I inherited her ring and have worn it for over 45 years now. I never knew my dad, but felt this ring was such a beautiful symbol of their love and also felt safe and happy wearing it. Thank you for sharing your feelings on this matter, it hit very close to home.

    I am 9.5 years into being a widow and STILL wear my ring on left hand, and his on my middle finger on the right where he placed it when he started losing weight from cancer. You wear it as long as you feel you want too. There is no time limit on grief, and no time limit on when you have to take your ring off. You loved Jenny, and you will know when you feel that you can take your ring off, as for me, I will continue to wear mine.

He was also married in under a year to a new woman and cut me and my kids, sister out of his life. I would say YOU ARE DOING JUST FINE ❤. You TRULY love Jen and it shows and I thank you for that!

    We just lost my mom and my dad lost his wife of 60 years. They lived with my husband and me, who himself is going through an ultra rare form of cancer that required a total amputation to his left leg, his hip, and 1/2 his pelvis as well as 6 mo of chemo. My dad asked me my thoughts on him taking his ring off. I told him that there is no timetable on grief and that no one else's opinion of what he does with his ring matters. My mom was ill for almost 4 yrs and he was devastated that he had moments where he felt like he was ok and didn't grieve. I reminded him that he had been grieving for almost 4 yrs prior to her death. Everyone grieves in their own way and no one's way is right or wrong. It's only what's right for you. God bless you Kyle.

    Kyle, you are coming up on the year mark. I found that time and the start of the 2nd year the most challenging time in my widow journey. Other widows warned me of that and that it was normal, which did help me. The first year we are in shock. The one year mark seems to make it real in a different way, and grief hits hard. At the same time, people crazily think we are done grieving at a year, which couldn't be further from the truth, but they are just very ignorant to how it works. If you are struggling now, or even feel like you are going backwards in grief, please know this is completely normal and you will get through this challenging time. Reach out if the struggle feels overwhelming. So many love and support you. 💗💗

It’s their conflicts and struggles projected onto you. Once they are in the same position, they will also be free to make their choice!
