It's the difference between a family and an institution.
When a coworker (IT staff, in your case) leaves, they get replaced.
Family just leaves a hole. Maybe some duties get taken over, maybe not. You may leave behind an IT shaped hole, but it's not really a new or unique problem. You lose the person who organized the holidays, the family reunions, the one who made the good pie, the peacemaker who kept the half-dozen warring factions cordial.
Maybe someone else steps up. Maybe not. It just gets rolled into the larger grieving process of the holes left by those we've lost.
