tolkien derived some feeling of loss from his own personal background
Yes, I would agree with that in the case of Faramir-- although I don't know if it was conscious or subconscious, I do feel Tolkien was using his own feelings about his own mother as a source for his (sub-)creation of Faramir's attitude.
