can anyone recommend some poetry or literature to help deal with crushing loss

Ulysses by Tennyson always reminds me to keep going, keep moving, that life is a process and a journey, not just a stable state containing good things that you can then lose. Good things are things you meet along the way, but they aren't things you can hoard forever. You're all moving in the same direction, and you'll meet again in the end.

I don't know what you've lost, anon. But don't let it press you down into yourself and your grief until you can't get back out. Keep exposing yourself to the variety of life, to friends, to conversations with storekeepers, even, to sunny days and new sights and experiences.

I know it only makes it worse right now, because it seems like I'm not doing justice to your loss, but time heals all wounds. You need to grieve, but you also need to let the unconscious process of overcoming your depression run in the background, because the latter will give you strength in the day-to-day, so that you can deal with the real grief in a spiritual and meaningful way.
