The concept of loss is worse than actual loss.

Actual losses provide insight.

Conceptual loss is an unreal projection that only exists in a mental vacuum & yields nothing but stress, because it blinds you of the gains that come with actual loss.

Does this resonate, or am I way off?

Conceptually dwelling on loss can be more distressing than the loss itself. Real losses offer lessons and growth opportunities, while conceptual losses only create unnecessary stress by focusing on imaginary negatives instead of potential positives. This perspective can help shift focus towards embracing actual losses as part of personal development.
