Soft Books for Grief
These are books that deal with grief, but feel gentle. It's a lot of graphic novels and even some kid's books. A lot of these are stories that are light or made me feel held in a way. The nonfiction ones had good facts, but were also reassuring and/or didn't involve a lot of heavy details that some grief books can have.
Introductory Manga In 20 Volumes Or Fewer
If you have time to read all of "Inuyasha" or "One Piece" or "Dragonball", congratulations. I am envious. If you want to try out some manga series without dedicating years of your life, here's some shorter suggestions.

Healing is optional, suffering is the focus
I have come to realise I am driven to stories which have a big focus on trauma. Here is a list of what I have already finished and enjoyed with a big focus on trauma either directly or indirectly through metaphors. Some of theses will be more intense than others, please do read the description of each one for content warnings. I will try to keep this updated as I read more, you can mention recommendations in the comments but I won't add anything unless I have read it myself xD
Picturesque Television
Books with pictures/illustrations (e.g comics, manga, graphic novels, picture books) that have been adapted to TV shows or movies!
Only including the first book in the series (if there is one)!
