Roland Barthes

“Mourning. At the death of the loved being, acute phase of narcissism: one emerges from sickness, from servitude. Then, gradually, freedom takes on a leaden hue, desolation settles in, narcissism gives way to a sad egoism, an absence of generosity.”

Roland Barthes, Mourning Diary: October 26, 1977–September 15, 1979
