I am not a hoarder (although my father was, I have posted about it before) but I do get very attached to "things". I can find some emotional connection to pretty much anything.
I am able to give things up, give them away or throw things away, but losing something is a whole different thing (that I just realized after reading your post!!!).
I feel absolutely wretched to have lost something, no matter how insignificant. And I feel an inordinate amount of relief when I find something I have lost.
