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.

I remember thinking the same thing in a moment when I could even remotely entertain any notion of humour. When my dad passed away, and people, including myself were using the term "lost", I could almost envision hunting high and low, searching for him. But I knew he was nowhere to be found. (Well yes but that is another discussion) and with that a return to the sadness. Good post thank you.
