The fairytale of Rapunzel comes to mind. Grief, longing, and loss are played with at several points: the parents early infertility, Rapunzel's captivity and later banishment, the sorceresses desire to keep her locked away, the prince's loss and longing of Rapunzel, etc.
It's thematically complex in that sense, playing with nuances of parent/child, lovers, coming of age and more.
