Lost documents in Pages

I've never had this happen before and have had pages for many years but one unnamed document (I was writing every few days to my husband who had recently passed away. It was like a journal of grief and was very important to me.) has totally disappeared. I've done everything but contact Apple support. It is nowhere to be found. I noticed others have had this happen but the dates in the discussion are in 2022. Has anyone had this happen lately. Today is March 28, 2025. Thanks for any help.

iMac 27″, macOS 12.7

Pages will only autosave your document changes after you have deliberately saved it to a legitimate filename other than the default Untitled.pages. If you opened a blank template and began typing over the course of a few days, leaving Pages up on the screen, and then quit Pages without saving your document as in the first sentence, the content is gone for good.


Very sorry for your loss too…
