I can't believe I lost my engagement ring and I don't know where else to express my feelings. I hope people here can help one way or another, as you would understand my grief.
2 weeks ago, while doing a short filming in a boutique that I own, I had to take out my solitaire engagement ring for a close-up shot of my hand. I left it in my pants pocket and completely forgot. I changed to a different pants later and didn't remember until the next day. I search those pants over and over again and turn the whole coffee shop upside down to look for it but it's nowhere to be found. My shop staff also helped looking for it but it didn't help. I trust my staff not to steal it, but the shop is always busy with guests. The ring is very small and if it fell out, it's unlikely to be found by a guest that just passed by.
I just feel so sad and at first very angry at myself for losing not just the most valuable jewellery piece I ever received, but also my favourite. My fiance and I have been together for 10 years before he proposed and the ring means a lot to me. I fell great every time I looked at it. I can buy another ring someday, but it broke my heart to think of how hard he searched for it and prepared for giving it to me. I still haven't found a way to tell him, or decided if I can ever tell him or just find another ring and never let him know... My wedding is coming in more than a month and I can't keep hiding the ring being lost then.
I know very well how lucky I am to still have my happy relationship, my job, and perhaps my husband wouldn't blame me or anything if he knew, but it still doesn't lighten the pain.
I used to have things misplaced at my boutique in mysterious ways and many people say some spirits do that to get our attention. I did ask them nicely to return it if they took my ring.
I also prayed to St. Anthony, the saint of lost things. Maybe a miracle can happen. For now, it's just very sad to deal with this alone, as I can't tell anyone. People around me would probably freak out.
Has anyone here experience something like this and can share with me how you cope with this? What I can do to forgive myself? Should I tell my fiance or anyone else? I can look for the money to buy another ring to hide this from anyone, but using such a lot of money when I have a wedding coming is also very unrealistic and quite painful...
Sorry for such a long post but I don't know where else to turn to.
