Is it depression or just part of my journey

I am new in7cups. I discovered 8 months ago that my spouse had someone else in his life. We broke up. I lost more than the relationship but also our summer house and retirement plans. I just turned 59. 2 adult children with whom i have a solid relationship but they have their life. Overall, I am pretty certain I am over the loss of my spouse (still some bubbles of all kinds of emotions but not lasting) but I have still not reconnected with my optimistic happy self. I am not enjoying life as I used to and am not able to figure out what I can dream of. I am functional and active but feel things are mostly boring. Can it be phase of my grieving journey or is it likely depression? Do I just need to be patient and trust the process?
