This was actually inspired by something I went through with my cats. We live out in the country, and every time I made some new cat we got an outdoors cat, it would vanish. Which, in turn, left me rather paranoid about the health and well-being of my cats, turning the new kittens I got into indoor cats instead of outdoor.
Yeah, I know, not as big a deal as losing people. But the experience had me thinking a lot about loss, and how on the show - with all the people they've been losing and especially so soon (Carson then Elizabeth) that there would be paranoia about losing more. For Sheppard, I think it's always been there but he knows how to control it. For Rodney, he's still in the learning stage, so, yeah, it would affect him worse.
Sorry for the long explanation, but it was a concept I really enjoyed exploring.
