It's normal to feel deppressed after something tragic, if it lasts more than six months or so then it is probably real deppression.

There are many phases in dealing with grief. Depression is definitely one of those phases.

Yes, it is called bereavement and is classified as a psychological difficulty if it has gone on longer than would be expected facing a significant loss. It's a tricky thing to diagnose simply because each of us has unique ways of facing grief and move through the process on different time lines. If however it is interfering with your dialy functioning and you are feeling excessively depressed, suicidal, or feel very pessimistic and low self esteem you may wish to talk with a therapist who specializes in grief.
