Firstly my heart goes out to you,
Depression , is a normal pathway of the grieving process, but at this depressed point you will be beginning to accept that your mother has died, and can move on in life, It is too soon to worry about this as you may just follow this normal pathway!. If you are still doing this in 6 months and not allowing yourself to grieve, when it finally does occur it will hit you severely!.
Go to your doctors and maybe get some help, so you are prepared for the depression, it will be more controlled than your post natal depression, and you will have support at hand!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm so sorry about your mother!. That is heartbreaking!. My grandpa died a couple of months before my only son was born!. And yes death of a loved one, especially a parent, can bring on those feelings of depression!. Don't suppress your grief, What I'd recommend is to get some counseling!. They can help you work though it and express your feelings in a healthy way!. I am in there right now for anxiety, and it is very helpful!. they just sit and listen to you, they don't judge and it's completely confidential!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to grieve even if you have a child!. Please seek help from the rest of your family and healthcare professionals!. this is too much for one person to deal with!.
I'm sorry for your loss and although nothing I can say will make you feel better, I hope you get the help you need to help you cope at this difficult time!. god bless xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I just asked my therapist and she said it's part of the grieving process!. If it goes away in 6 months or less it is grieving!. If it lasts longer, you should talk to a therapist!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
