grieving...is it silly?

Today I was browsing craigslist for furniture that I need for my bedroom and unexpectedly found myself dealing with hurt, anger, and grief. Many of the pieces of furniture that I came across were very similar to the furniture I had to leave behind in Washington when I moved back to Oregon. (That's a whole different story that I don't have time to go into now) The lady I was staying with prior to moving here didn't prove to be as caring as she made herself out to be and, well, long story short, I had to move out quicker than was expected, and had no way of moving all of my furniture out when I left. She was not present the day I moved out, so I left a note regarding all the things I left behind informing her that as soon as I was settled and had the means to move them out, I would contact her. I didn't have a phone at the time, so I gave her my email address. Unfortunately, it would seem she wanted my things for herself, since several months later, when I tried to reach her, her phone was disconnected, and when I tried to go back to her place to retrieve it, it was all gone. She had moved out, and I had no idea where she moved to. It's been a couple of years, and I've tried to make myself okay, knowing that I most likely will never see any of it again, but in being honest with myself, I'm not okay. I know I shouldn't make such a big deal out of material things, and normally I wouldn't, but some of these were precious as they were gifts from people I love, or had memories attached to them, like the desk I got for my birthday the year I moved out, or the hope chest I got for graduation full of precious things like my favorite stuffed animals, pictures, momentos, and my scrapbook that had all of my baby pictures in it. This all shouldn't matter, but it does...and I'm asking God to help me...first to get over it, second, to be able to truly forgive, because, honestly, when I think of this woman, the only feeling that comes is anger and hate. Help me, LORD!
