In addition to these excellent suggestions for coping with grief or fighting depression from other causes, I would add two:
1. find something creative to do. This helps absorb your mental energies into something positive.
2. Do regular service. It can be as easy as using Familysearch to find names of people waiting to have their temple work done or going to the temple and doing ordinance. Or it could be serving someone in your family, neighborhood, or ward.
And, as I write this, another thought comes to mind. Make sure you are not isolating yourself. In the suggestions that Jeff made or that I have made, make sure some of the things you do require interaction with others.
