I first thought this was about his wife leaving him right before she died, when I read how she came back to see him and put her ring in his fist, but now I'm sort of guessing that she's already dead at the beginning of the song, the misshapen bed is a coffin, and the person putting the ring in his fist is one of the workers at the hospice giving him all of her personal belongings. I guess.
