I don’t have the experience of reading to cope with grief, but I know exactly which books I’d do it with - books by Tamora Pierce. Definitely my comfort read. I’ve reread so many of them so many times. Very similar to you, I reread them as I grew up and when I needed to escape, and my reading level happened to match with Pierce’s evolving writing style over the years. Her books got longer as I grew older!
