Your reaction is completely normal,  

Talk Talk talk, really pull in as much support as you can.  A therapist, a friend even a support phone line, express your feelings.  A bereavement therapist ?  Is there a hospice in your area often you can find expertise there.   In some countries they offer support through the hospital for families.

The hard times get better, you are going through hell bless you.

I would personally recommend a good caring therapist to talk it out with rather than try to medicate it.  This should make you sad; it's real, not something that just comes out of the blue as it does for most of us.  You have something concrete to work on, and if you medicate this you will just postpone the inevitable emotional reckoning.  This hurts everyone, and sometimes we need a professional who is detached from our lives to talk to.  Now, this is just my opinion, and you're the best judge of what's best for you, but it's my two cents worth.

I am so sorry about your mom. Only your doctor can tell you what will work best for you.  What works for one doesn't for another.  Take advantage of these times with your mom.  You have situational depression and need something to help you cope with all this. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Take care...
