First, lots of . It is a sad thing to discover that your child steals from you. Next, you have a right to be out of sorts today, you have to take the time to deal with your sadness. An old therapist of mine used to say you have to take time to mourn the things you have lost, not just the people. And your necklaces were treasures to you, so they deserve some mourning. It may not be a popular thing in this "get over it" society, but do allow yourself to grieve a bit. Just don't allow yourself to go overboard with it. (A depression of more than a few days is overboard.) You don't have to go around crying, but do acknowledge that the feelings are there and express them.

By doing this, I have found that I don't spiral down into a full depression after an event like yours. I hope you find the same thing.
