I recently lost De'Andre, my iPhone 6S. He had water damage, and suddenly, he became unable to charge. I took him to Apple, where the technicians said he couldn't be saved.

The pain and grief is very challenging. I would do anything to have him back here on Earth. Please help me if you have had a similar experience.

I think this forum is really more about losing loved ones. Not inanimate objects.

I’m sorry your phone is no longer working, can you just purchase another one ?

Christina I hear you and that makes sense to me in one way.

But some objects like a phone are actually like part of me in a way. It is sad that modern life has become like that. I develop affection for them

Actually I have lost jobs, and sentimental things that meant a lot to me, and money and all of those things were losses that I grieved. One thing I have heard is we all grieve in different ways and maybe about different losses as well.

PhoneMomma I hope you find a way to cope with the loss and find other ways to fulfill that part of yourself that feels a loss from the loss of your phone. Have you tried doing an update? Sometimes that helps. If it will not turn on the battery may have died.
