In the fifth episode of the second season of Lost, one of the characters claims that you find the things you lose only when you're not looking for them. I think for people, the realisation of loss comes not just when you look and don't find them, but when you see them right in front of you but know you've lost them - to circumstances, to other people, to the inevitable dilution of feeling with time - it doesn't really matter to what/whom does it?
