songs to deal with death/mourning?

Question

I'm fifteen. My mother died this summer and I miss her terribly. Occasionally I just need to cry, very very hard. I listen to "Angel" by Sara McLachlin because this is the song she requested at her funeral. I also listen to Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance because of the lyrics, like these
"And though you're dead and gone, believe me
your memory will carry on"

I was wondering if anyone knew of any other songs like that that can help coax out my sadness, and just lead me to cry and lead me to hope. I'm not religious, so songs of that nature wouldn't help me.

I'd appreciate it.
