Is it normal to realise the value of someone after they are no longer in your life?

Can you realise how much they mean to you and that you miss them?

I would say it is very common. But not normal.
Normal would be knowing what we have when we have it by being in touch with our feelings. But we've all unfortunately learned to dissociate from what normal should be.
