I don't think the song is about divorce at all. Sloan-Kettering is a leader in cancer research and she pulls the ring from his pale white hand because he's dead. Most hospitals have children's wings so I wonder if the young man's wing is a play on words with that. Half the ring lies with him wherever he's buried and he talks about her moving on like he is watching over her. Not sure how the honor plays in, maybe that was his dad? I think the first two verses chronologically should be switched. Like Hemmingway's stream of consciousness she's at his funeral, sees the ring and then remembers him dying.
