That sounds completeley okay and the right way to react.

Thank you. Honestly, I needed to hear that.

OMG I am so sorry to hear that. I have had that happen before and I think I cried for an hour. There is nothing worse than the feeling of knowing you won't be able to recover it.

I felt that in my soul. The helpless panic when something just vanishes is unreal. You stare at the screen hoping it magically comes back.
