Hi

Welcome to HM.

I understand your concern.

It is not depression. It is Grief reaction.

Grief can be define by felling of emotional instability due to loss of loved one.

It is natural to some extent.

But when it interferes with daily routine it suggest pathological grief.

Better to wait for any drug till 2 months. Usually it will resolve within 2 months.

Try to keep yourself busy.
Discuss with family and friends.
Accept what you have lost and reality.
Accept what is now you have and what you will be.

Because it is fact that you have to do all this to come out from it.
Do not be alone as you talk with people it helps in adaptations.

This condition can be treated with mild dose of SSRI and benzodiazapin if it affects you more.

still have a query then feel free to ask.

Always here to help you.

Thank you.

Take care.
