how to get the workitem

hi ,

im using the task to trigger work item to a person and scheduled a deadline. but suddenly my connection to the server has lost.

again i have opened my inbox i could not be able to have the workitem in my inbox.

but the deadline is already triggered to another person regarding this work item.

in this case how to get the workitem in my inbox?

how these kind of scenarios are being handled ?
