Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Hugs!!!!!: I am so sorry for your loss - you obviously loved him very much. You are having a prolonged grief response. Normal grieving usually improves after six weeks. Strongly encourage you seek counseling and also work with an MD for possible medication to help reverse the depression. Stay positive - but if your mood dips again and you feel suicidal - make sure you get help asap! Hugs and good luck!
