Bring them back
A loved one dies and life just isn't the same without them. Why not bring them back?
This a list of books where someone is brought back from the dead in an attempt to deal with unbereable grief. Suggestions are very welcome!
⚠️ WARNING: The resurrection theme might be a spoiler for the books included, so tread with caution

I know Delicious in Dungeon is a strecth, but I am struggling to find books that match this theme exactly! A character has to be brought back from the dead on purpose, and it has to be as a consequence of someone's grief for their death. Help me fill the list out! I would love to read more books with this premise.
Love this idea. I have a recommendation but it's a pretty big spoiler and fulfills the criteria of this list in an unconventional way. Does that work?

It works! I will add a warning to the list's decription saying that the books included might be a spoiler since they will contain the theme at some point. As long as the book fulfills the conditions in the pinned comment it counts
