The Farseer Triology by Robbin Hobb.
It is both one of the most spectacularly written and character development heavy fantasy books I have ever read.
While simultaneously being one of the most depressing series of books I have ever read, from the word Go things just get worse, until you think "It just can't get any worse for him can it?"....but it can..and it does.
I strongly recommend reading it to everyone and anyone, as a matter of fact im reading it again now..for the fourth time.

Im so sorry to here this...
Stay strong, and have happy pictures by your side.
But I hope you enjoy the books heh.
Robbin Hobb wrote three more triologys in the same Realm/Setting, in all honesty the Liveship Traders I wouldn't recommend to heavily, but her third series picks up with the main character of the Farseer Triology and is spectacular.
As for the fourth I can't comment because like you, I have used my Waterstones vouchers to buy them and wont' be reading it for a bit yet.

Les Miserables and Before I Die.
I found The Lovely Bones quite sad. And, as already said, Never Let Me Go.

Les Miserables and Before I Die.
Yes, this. Before I Die and Never Let Me Go are the two books that have made me cry

120 days of sodom by Marquis de Sade. Absolutely horrible but I think it's written well.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers and Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. Did these in English and my teacher had to give me a whole box of tissues.
Then there is The Time Traveller's Wife, The Lovely Bones and My Sister's Keeper. Read the books, watched the films and my friend and I were bawling so much, you couldn't hear the film. What a sight!!
And finally Die Leiden des jungen Werthers by Johann W. von Goethe. I did it in German and there should be an English translation. That had my ducts flowin'...
Happy Reading!!

Tess of the D'urbevilles 
I'm not much of a sad book reader, more of crime and stuff but I did read the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas which was quite very sad!

One Day by David Nicholls. Not helped by the fact i have a crush on Anne Hathaway. Buckets were cried.
Oh yes that one too! I can't believe I forgot it! I had to stop put the book down and calm down for an hour before I could carry on!
