I don't disagree with you at all, klm. When I posted, I didn't mean to sound as if I wanted a new ring. I guess it's just hard for me to look at it again in a brand new light. Many times during the first few months of our S, I would often lie down with it in my hand and cry. I took so much pride in wearing it. When everything disintegrated, my image of my wedding ring and all that it meant to me completely shattered.
But I believe you are right. I need to look at it again with the same pride I used to.
However, I won't put it on by myself. When the moment is right, I think I'll ask H to do the honors.
Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward. ~ Joseph Campbell
