DEAR ABBY: I'm concerned about a friend I'll call Edith. Despite the fact that her husband died several years ago, she continues to wear her engagement and wedding rings. Is that in poor taste or what?
When I pointed this out to Edith, she simply said it was her business. What do you say, Abby? -- EDITH'S FRIEND IN DES MOINES
DEAR FRIEND: I agree with Edith. A widow may wear her wedding rings as long as she wishes. When she is ready to date again, the rings can be switched to her right hand, incorporated into another piece of jewelry, or simply put away.
P.S. If you are really Edith's friend, why are you labeling and criticizing her? She is hurting no one.
