I agree--everyone grieves differently. And your grieving process can change over time. There is no right or wrong way. Be aware that "stuff" might come up, or might not. It comes up when it's ready.

And it is definitely possible to endure such a loss without being depressed. Sadness and grief and loss are experienced differently by different people, and there are many for whom these are very distinct from depression.

Is there a family friend that can be around to help defuse the intensity between you and your sister and just help deal with some of the logistics? Also, often it helps to wait a little while to deal with some of those logistics, like estate, or cleaning out house, etc. If the circumstances allow it, it could help to wait and give both of you some time just to let the whole thing sink in.
