I was chatting with a friend this morning about how we cry after speaking with particular ex-lovers, not because of anything that happens in the conversation, but just in grief over the loss of that life.
So, it seems to me there must be a more specific word than 'regret' to cover the mourning of a broken way of being, and that it's probably German (Danish?), but I couldn't think of what it was.
A little help?

By the time you panic, it is way too late -- Lee Raymond, New York Times, July 6, 2008
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies a theft from those who are hungry and not fed; from those who are cold and not clothed. This world-in-arms is not spending money alone; it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. Dwight D Eisenhower, 11/16/53
