What would you do if you lose something of sentimental value? D:

I remember losing a wooden owl and I was heartbroken. I know it sounds really silly, what could be so important about a wooden owl? Well, my grandmother owned it, and when she passed away it was given to me. One day it just vanished, and it really upset, this owl went with me no matter what I did...and shortly after I found out my father got rid of it....damn.

I have lost two such things. One was a gold wrist chain that I realized was missing when I got home from a trip and actually drove back to the last place where I had been and was sure that was where I had lost it but no one had turned it in and it was an impossible place to search. The second item was an engraved pen that I realized was gone from my pocket when I got home from the store. I went back immediately but once again it had not been turned in and the most likely person to have found said he hadn't seen it. So I don't carry a pen anymore.

If i lose something sentimental then i pretty much can't do anything about it. I'll just let it go but i'm sure I'll be missing it.

I am a very sentimental person that's why I'd feel the same way if that happened to me. I mean, I don't think I could forgive myself if I lost something so sentimental. I have been like that ever since I was a kid, and I grew up with it. My advice for you. Uhm.. Try your best to look for it. Look in every corner of every room in your house. If you haven't really found it, then maybe for some weird reasons it'll show up later when you're not looking for it. If it doesn't show up, (I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do) maybe you'll just have to deal with the sadness. I know how that feels. I'm really sorry.

I fall in deep depression in these moments. Depression never help, but I am that kind of person. Try to think for something else. Go out with friends and forget about it. If you think more about this, I doubt that this will help you. All the best and happy mylotting!

of course i would try my best finding it.. . that could not be replaced by something... but i could not see it again, then i would just be to sigh up...

hi jeeyah I have read the other responses but I have a different take on it.If you and your lover are really close, you can tell him about it and he will really understand, you can say how awful you feel and am hoping you just misplaced it.If he is like most of us he too has probably lost some thing thats dear to him, and will understand your upset. good luck and God bless you both.

I would really feel bad of my being reckless to miss a thing with sentimental value. I would really try to recall of happened prior that time I misplaced it and if I can't really find it anywhere or can't remember anything at all where I placed it then with great remorse I would let it go and hope it would be replaced with a new thing that I promise not to misplace again.

i'm a person who really appreciates when receiving something from my loved ones.specially when that person is very dear to me.i really make sure that what he/she gave me is in good condition.and is kept in secure places.from day to day i want to see that "thing" that i received. well,in case i misplaced it,i would take that as a sign.if i found it,we're meant to be,but if not,then we're not. but i think it's really up to you if you want to find it,you'd do anything for it and as long as you know where you last saw it,maybe it's just there (not thinking of signs). as for now,i haven't lost anything from my ex,because what he gave me is a big one,harder to misplace!even if i want it to be lost,rather keep it.as a sign of his love.even if we are now separate lives,at least we've known each other.we've experienced being loved by each other.what we've had is worth keeping...

When I lost something sentimental, i really got depressed at first regretting the things that I should have done or shoyld not have done so that I wouldn't have lost it. But things already happened. It's over. If there really is a way to have it back, I'll have it back. But if I really am destined to lose it, I should move on. It's lost. I could not do anything about it any longer.
