Is there a name for knowing something is gone but not remembering what it was?
Is there a name for knowing something is gone but not remembering what it was?
Sometimes I'll notice that a building that I used to drive by all the time is gone (leveled to the ground). I know it's gone, but I can't remember what it looked like or what was in it. I just know it's gone.
Is there a name for this?

There's probably some really specific word in German for this, but I can't think of a single word in English that would fully describe what you're talking about.
Oh course there is, it's:
Existenzerinnerungsverlust
German is crazy like that.
It was a joke ;)
There is no word for that.
(But to be fair, if there was, this one would kind of work)
Well, shit: That sounded really plausible.
