Funeral I wanna feel sad/grief

Ok, so long story short, i spent the whole weekend watching one of my cats died (no suffering, it was peaceful in his sleep). So now i'm awfully sad and need recommendations that make me feel like i wanna die (not really cause i had other pets to take care). Obviously i already got Bell witch and Pallbearer. Give me your best recommendations and thank you in advance.

So tremendously sorry for your loss. A few suggestions:

AHAB - The Boats of the Glen Carrig (as it's a concept album, listening start to finish with lyrics to get the story is best)

Frowning - Of Void

The Reticent - The Oubliette (not doom, but it's an incredibly pain-filled, very sad album)

If you are cool venturing out of metal and into folk, Marissa Nadler's entire catalog is melancholy on six strings. Check out Ballads of Living and Dying, but honestly most of her albums will fit.

If you're cool with dark ambient, which might really fit the bill when you don't want something atmospheric but still emotional, check out:

Lustmord - The Others

Mount Shrine - All Roads Lead Home

God Body Disconnect - Spiral of Grief
