I Lost Someone Important to Me

Loss, Losing, Lost

I've never really cared for the term "lost" or "losing" when it comes to the death of someone, or at the end of a relationship. It sounds like they've been misplaced, or wandered off into the woods. Whenever I hear it, it makes me want to look under the couch cushions, just in case.
