I know with Lich out damage done to me would cause me to sacrifice permanents but about straight up life loss?
Does Lich see life loss the same way it sees damage? The way it's worded and the rulings leads me to think that Lich doesn't see them the same.

Loss of life by itself is not damage; damage to a player usually causes loss of life, but not always (C.R. 120.3).
