I believe it was the death of Lenore. The Raven represents a descent into madness.

His own feelings of depression. He was a very depressed man and he felt very much alone. They didn't have medications to treat these things in those days. It was a very sad situation.

he buried his wife while she was still alive(comatose) and found out about it later--it haunted him for the rest of his life and influenced most of his writings
