Rose,
What helps me when I feel like that is to remember, this is just a *feeling.* An awful one, and in some ways a natural one to arise in depression and grief. . .but as you know, it passes. . .if you just ride it out, sit gently and lightly with it.
The important thing is not to take terribly seriously the fact that the thought or feeling has occured to one; this adds a whole nothing layer of feeling terrible and panicked which in the end is a terrible unkindness to oneself.
Hope this helps,
Zo
