One of Bach's works was written for the departure of his brother Johann Jakob, three years older than him, to belong to the military band of King Karl XII of Sweden. Capriccio "On the Departure of My Beloved Brother". In it, Bach explains what dangers are in store for him on his journey, laments that he must go, and resolves to accept the inevitable goodbye and see him off.
Some, like Bach's brother, are parting as they embark on a positive journey toward their next departure; others, like Bach's brother, are parting because their lives will soon be over, or because they are seeing off a beloved family member.
Beethoven was able to create a clean and beautiful work if he could sum up his life, even if it seems to be a will with bereavement looming on the horizon. On the other hand, the French composer Vierne thought that the tragic separation from his beloved family, torn apart by war, could be made into a horrifying yet lovely piece of music if he put it into his compositions.
I hope you can feel the various ways composers dealt with parting.
