I Lost Someone Important to Me

[big]Loss, Losing, Lost[/big]

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.

@suzie1960 Ah, you've discovered a weakness of mine-- my unadulterated love of Oscar Wilde...!

@GwydionFrost: In death, it's the finality of the loss that hits home deeply.. Others "seem" recoverable..

Practically a trademark at this point. No worries there. Unless that's a warrant in your hand... then I have NO IDEA who you are talking about...
@GwydionFrost: @trademark - I could understand in bits and pieces from certain comments about your popular artwork. 👍

Ahh! There you are ... with those capslocks! Now I know this can't be anyone else but you! ☺

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.

I agree. I know the word "loss" has multiple meanings and it's correct to say, but having suffered many "losses" I agree, the term does not seem to be enough to describe the finality and pain behind someone you love being eternally gone from this physical world.
You are funny.
