You are right you don't believe in superstition, it is one of those sad things in life that has happened but as Northerner says a good jeweller can fix it and it's not like you lost it, I would be really hurt if I lost a symbol like that but you haven't and it can be fixed.
You are probably extra sensitive just now for all the other things that are happening in your lives that are real trials, but I am sure you are a strong person and a strong couple!
Best wishes to both of you.
