I have a question regarding the translation of the following sentence.

人は誰もまた失うほどに求めるけど

I know the basic functions of ほど but still can't see how this plays out.

Translation question regarding 「ほどに」
> 「Verb Phrase A + ほどに + Verb Phrase B」
>
> = "the more (Verb Phrase A), the more (Verb Phrase B)"

「[失]{うしな}うほどに[求]{もと}める」 ＝

「失うにつれて、ますます求める」 ＝

「失えば失うほど求める」, etc.

Thus, 「[人]{ひと}は[誰]{だれ}もまた失うほどに求めるけど」 means:

> "The more people lose, the more they desire, (but)...."
