Yes, animals of all species are complex Beings. They don't just eat, sleep, poop and breathe. They feel as well, have sensitivities, and are just as likely to suffer badly from traumatic events as we are. And yes, they do grieve, and they do that each to their own way, just as we do.
Yet even though I know that about them, I am always amazed by their capacity for forgiveness, and the readiness with which they will often start anew after even horrific events. They do not mooch about and feel self pity.
However, I disagree with Jane Goodall, about Flint. That was not 'depression', that was 'Grieving'. Each is fundamentally different and needs to be treated differently in all species including Human.
