I'm so sorry for your loss. That must have been traumatic. I know that antidepressants can convert a single episode of depression into chronic treatment resistant depression while untreated depression has a greater likelihood of resolving itself and not recurring. ( I realize that you are not taking ADs) But I wonder if being so medicated is actually preventing grief from resolving and just suppressing it and making it chronic. To address panic behavioraly you have to feel the panic and experience it subside rather than medicate it into submission. Maybe grief is the same.
Of course I would urge you not to take medical advice from anyone on the internet including me!
