I'm curious about what happens to bitcoins when they are lost. Do they disappear completely from the system or is there some sort of mechanism in place to retrieve them? Where do lost bitcoins actually go?

This decentralized nature means that transactions are permanent and cannot be reversed.

This is akin to sending cash through the mail, where once it's sent, it cannot be retrieved.
