This is a very personal decision. Like most people have already answered, wear the ring as long as you want to, if that's one year or for the rest of your life...it's up to you. If you decide to date again, the women you date should respect that you were married once to the love of your life and she will always be a large part of you.
My father is now remarried (my mom passed in 2002), but his new wife is a widow as well, so she understands how that person is always with you and to not be jealous.
I'm sorry for your loss.

I lost my wife November 18th 2014. it was sudden and a shock. now I'm not much of a jewelry wearing person. my wedding ring always had meaning to me and meant something. when I feel the time is right to take it off I plan on having someone create me I shadowbox to display the cross I got her funeral and both of our rings entwined together for eternity. This I will display on my mantle.

When, and if you do take off your band, make sure you put it some place safe.
I married this past May, and asked my Dad if I could pin his band to the inside of my dress, along with my deceased mother´s ring that my sister inherited. My Dad couldn´t even locate the ring, and I found this disrespectful. Yes, my Mom had died, and he had fulfilled his obligation and vow to stay with her, but come on Dad-at least respect the ring my Mom gave him.
I am sorry for your loose!

For as long as you want. My grandfather died in 1976 and my grandmother still wears her wedding ring. Though she did take it off for a bit when she dated a little in the 80's. She still has my grandfather's last name also and is addressed as Mrs.

If my husband dies, I would wear it for the rest of my life, as I had promised that to him. I dont think I could ever get remarried, but I dont know for sure. My great-grandmother's husband died in WW2 and she still to this day (95 yrs old) wears her ring and considers herself married to the man she has always loved. I think I would be the same way.

Good Lord,you expect this poor guy to just wipe her out of his memory? Would YOU like it if he did the same thing to you? And not to mention,you have countless reminders of her all through your house. How is he supposed to heal when everything he looks at reminds him of her? What the hell do you think he's thinking every time he looks at his son? The guys in your life need love and understanding right now,not to mention some professional help to get them through this. Hopefully you're compassionate enough to provide both.

Well I lost my wife sometime back and I wore mine until I met someone else and during our courtship I quit wearing It. I gave it to my oldest son for when he gets married, that way it stays in the family. But really it's up to you, just don't use it as a crutch to stay on the bench, at least get out there and meet people but remember to honor her in everything you do and don't be afraid to talk about her to women you meet, you will actually learn alot about a woman depending on how she reacts to your conversation.

my boss was married to her husband, they were was a 20 year difference between the two of them, he passed when he was 60 and she was 40. It's been 7 years and she stills wears and still considers herself married to him. I don't think that will ever change.

Til you pass away if that is your choice and then for infinity if you wish...If you were to be involved with any other person in the future, again, it would be your WISH and you would do the best thing for all concerned.
