Doing counseling means you're actively working on things in the past. While sifting around the past, new things and events come up that makes one feel just horrible. I'm not sure how long one should have had "prolonged sadness" before it makes a clinical depression, but I have a feeling that it is worth asking these questions to your therapist. One can feel things slip out of control, and I would be extremely sad too if I lost my cat!

I would definitely ask for an evaluation by the therapist. So much acts in! There are a few kinds of depression, and someone who is educated can differ them from each other.

Good luck - and do absolutely check back!
