OVERREACTION OR WHAT?

[yummymum30]

I today lost the diamond from my engagment ring, and totally burst out crying. I have been married 14 years and engaged 16 so it has made me really sad. My hubby just cuddled me and said he would buy me another better one. But thats not the point it was really sentimental to me we got it at Hatton Garden (it was not v expensive about £250 then) but it was a really special day when we decided to get engaged. I cant stop crying. Am I overreacting? I just feel so sad. I dont think a new ring will be as special even if it is more expensive.

Try and put it in perspective - the diamond is only a "thing", not a person. It is replaceable.
I've got diamonds galore and I would be a bit miffed if I lost one but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
