I've just received some upsetting news from a family member. I'm feeling big feelings. Can anyone recommend me some music to have on while I'm sitting with these?

Currently I have these songs on my playlist, so any recommendations in a similar vibe would really help:

Tori Amos - Black-Dove (January)
Porcupine Tree - Collapse the Light Into Earth
Eluvium - Copia
Nine Inch Nails - Your Touch
Porcupine Tree - Heartattack in a Lay-by
Nine Inch Nails - Hope We Can Again

Do you want to cry it out? I have in the past. If you want to explore your feelings, whether it be feeling the anxiety of what’s to come, or processing grief and crying it out:

Albums: A Promise Fabulous Muscles Fag Patrol The Air Force Unclouded Sky Forget

When my best friend died in a horrible way (the third best friend I’ve had die in a similar way) I didn’t cry. I didn’t feel anything. I just coasted through my days, through their funeral, through hangouts, through work. A few weeks later, I was listening to Unclouded Sky at work (I’ve heard it heaps before) and a 20 seconds into one song, I just out wailing at my desk and ran out of the building and went home. I needed that. It was extremely cathartic.
