Do you think it is ok or healthy for people to wear their wedding rings after their spouse/partner dies ? I think it is a beautiful tribute and I see no problem with it.

It's just a symbol anyway...the ring doesn't define it. |

I think there's a big difference between someone who's 30 doing this and someone 60+.

The only time it would be weird is if they decided to start dating again.

I never had a woman approach when I was single but then after getting married there they were. It even happened a few times while I was out with my wife (to answer the obvious question, no.  ).
I see no issue with the widow/widower leaving it on as long as they want or doing anything else they want when they feel mentally read to remove it. I've had a lot of problems in my marriage over the last several years and it's been tough sometimes to stay in it, but even when I didn't want to I still would have felt really strange taking it off. In my mind, that would symbolize something so final.
EDIT - If I can go off topic for a second.... FL Knifemaker I LOVE your avatar. That one second section of that commercial get my son and I laughing hysterically every time!
