 * Raven became a Maiden, so that meant having to watch his sister leave and having to watch her leave behind her husband and daughter. There was nothing anyone could do about it. That feeling of being powerless to stop your loved ones from leaving and prevent them from getting hurt... It's a horrible feeling.


 * Being unable to tell his niece why Raven left, then later having to save his niece because she almost got herself killed searching for answers that he can't give her.

Did you mess up quoting? O.o
 * Summer, who was his close friend, teammate, and leader, died.
 * On top of all this, Yang grew up looking a lot like Raven, and Ruby grew up looking just like Summer. Every time he sees them, it's a reminder, but he can't bring himself to avoid them because he loves them too much.
