So I realised yesterday that I've accidentally thrown out a locket that belonged to my grandma - and her Mum before her.
It was in an envelope in a drawer and I think I must have assumed it was empty and thrown it out with the recycling a couple of months ago.
I'm absolutely devastated, like I've literally felt sick to my stomach since I realised what I'd done yesterday morning.
I know I can't get it back (although I've messaged the council to ask for details of recycling plant, just in case).
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas of how I can stop beating myself up? Or how to lessen the sadness I'm feeling? I've been in tears for nearly 24 hours and just feel dreadful.
Do you think I should buy a new locket and put pictures of my great grandparents in it or should I just accept it's gone?
