I guarantee you that if a natural disaster flattened my house and place of work, destroying all my photos and worldly posessions ..... I would be devastated as much as if I had lost my whole life. Because in effect, I did.

I've had to start over a few times in my life, and despite some insightful coping mechanisms, the feelings of those losses are still very much with me.

So I totally agree, Mountain Ash. All loss is loss.
