I am bi polar and suffer from mood shifts. The way it works for me is for a few weeks, I'm manic (no sleep, energy levels through the roof, sex drive that elevates to obsession, angry as shit, sharp whit, creative, argumentative, risk taking) and then all of a sudden, I'm in deep depression (sleeping 12 hours a day, no energy at all, little sex drive, no interest in anything, crying for no reason, dull, quiet, hopelessness). I really have no control over them and they work at an almost independent level from whatever is happening in my life.
I have heard that regular depression, or "situational" depression can fluctuate based on what life throws at you, and maybe that's what you have. But if you have something like me, the shit just swings all on it's own with no rhyme or reason.
In any event, I hope you feel better soon. It's never fun, especially dealing with a loss like you are. If you feel like it's taking you down, or that you can't cope, go to the doctor and see if they can help. Medication and therapy work wonders for some. It might be something to look into.
