I have books spilling out in every room. Categories very similar to yours. My grief books and the mystics are not well organized but I can lay my hands on most of them. They are about sudden loss of a child. A traumatic loss that I can barely talk about and it's been since 2012. I think the one book that helped me the most was When bad things happen to good people. This book is essential if you are questioning God and how could a good God let this happen. I didn't know it was the journey of this same question by a Rabbi who lost his son to a brutal disease. His conclusion is a very important and comforting one and gave me a bit of peace for the first time after several years.
