I listen to music when I'm upset. How do you deal with GRIEF?

My grandfather died of leukemia and the images evoked by Bon Iver's "Blood Bank" really hit home because he spent a great deal of the last two years getting blood transfusions in order to stay alive.

Lyrics:

Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags

You said, see look that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how the resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers

And I said I know it well
That secret that we know that we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor, I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I know it well, I know it well
And I know it well, I know it well...
