I hate it for you! Maybe you will find it.I have never lost anything very valuble but while helping my brother move last summer I broke the top off of a very nice large trophey.oh my god i felt sooo terrible and started to not say anything but again the guilt kicked in and i felt i had to own up to it. Thank god ,when i told him he only laughed and shrugged and said "no big deal,Ive got dozens of those things besides maybe when we buy our first house i'll use the broke part as a funny story door knocker!!"

Someone lending me something would mean that they trust me to care for their things. Losing something which was entrusted to me would make me feel both scared and disturbed..I wouldn't want to lose their trust.

I am sorry to hear that. To lose something important specially when it belongs to some one else is really sad. But dont be upset. Tell your sister and ask her if you could help her gather the data. And if she scolds you, just say sorry and mean it. I am sure she would understand. And learn from this. Be more careful next time.

Oh Dear next you should be careful and keep other things safety so it would not be happened. In my case, i feel nervous and guilty, and i should maybe find a good words to explain to her why i lost it.I will say sorry but it's not worth it if that is very important. If the thing is so very important it's better to tell her early about it. So she can do something about it when she really need it. Happy posting.

i would feel wretched. and i would also feel compelled to make amends and somehow make it up to whosoever's belonging i loose. i would be probable tided over with guilt. this is the kinda situation where it's better to tell the truth because it is going to come out sooner or later, and it would sound much better coming from you, then the person finding out himself/herself and then discovering that you hid it from them. and i understand that this is also the kind of situation where you loathe to tell the truth and wish u could just go and hide under some rock, never to be found, until u are sure that the coast is clear... happy myLotting

If that same thing happened to me, I will feel like what you are feeling right now. That's really sad. At the same time, I will feel like she will never trust me again or never lend me anything again for the rest of our lives. It is hard because we know how it feels to lose something so important. Well then, I guess you have to face your sister and tell her that you're sorry. Or maybe, try to replace what you have lost so that your sister will know how sincere you are in saying your sorry.
