Sadness and grief are different from depression. Depression is a feeling of sadness with no apparent cause which lasts for longer than two weeks.

Sadness and grief are reactions to tragedy and crisis. You feel sad when someone is sick or dies; you feel sad when you break up with a friend; you feel sad when you fail at a task. Sadness is the "feeling blue" sort of mood where you don't enjoy life much and mope around. Normal sadness will go away in less than two weeks.
