I spend my time in worry

The most common occasion of weeping, as outlined in  "On the Development and Function of Tears" (hah), is loss. In this category includes the loss by "death or alienation of someone to whom the weeper has been closely attached" or "the loss of some material object, or the withdrawal of something promised, or the loss of a body part of possession;or even-and not infrequently-the loss of esteem for a friend of of self esteem, resulting in a diminished self image."

Object Loss, in psychoanalytic theory, is an extremely complex phenomenon, one that doesn't give rise only to feelings of sadness and longing. Freud describes the consequences of an identification of the ego with the abandoned object in "Mourning and Melancholia":

Thus the shadow of the object fell upon the ego, so that the latter could hencefoth be criticzed by a special mental faculty like an object, like the forsaken object. in this way the loss of hte object became transofmed into a loss in the ego, and the conflicrt between the ego and the loved person transformed into a cleaveage between the criticizing faculty of the ego and the ego as altered by the identification.

It is in relation to the ambivalence of the experience of loss above all, and the unconscious aggressivity it engenders.
