Pets do get sad about things like the death of a housemate but they don’t get depressed like humans can. Things that can make them happy in general are devoting time every day to play with their humans. Buy a tall cat tree or put in shelves so that Luna has opportunities to climb. A Feliway diffuser can also help. You may also get Luna checked out by her vet just in case she is sick. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
