You are fairly right, Lush... but Denethor does not inspire much simpathy as his actions stand for everything I oppose. Although you are right, he is faced with a really painful sequence of losses, to the point of loosing himself on his grief.
I also think that by trying to burn Faramir, in a very odd way (after all, he had lost his mind) he wanted to avoid his loss rather than loose him for good. By killing him, he owns his destiny and in such way, he owns Faramir himself.
