My laptop was stolen -- I feel like my life is gone!

Why can't I get over this? It's not like my family was murdered, or I'm a refugee -- it was just a laptop!

    It's like a breakup

    It hurts and hurts and then it hurts some more. And then you think you should be feeling better about it, but you don't, because it still hurts. And then enough time passes so that you are embarrassed to bring it up with your friends, so you don't. But it still hurts.

    You are trying to change how you feel. It doesn't have to work, but the trying is good. It will work one day--just maybe not for a long time.

    I second the poster who has no sympathy for St. Joe's "no sympathy." The "practical matter" wasn't really what the letter was about. But good for you for being so practical.
