I hate to hear about the passing of your pup. Yes, dogs do experience grief but vomiting is not generally one of the signs. I would be concerned that something medical is taking place. Here is a link about dog saddness: https://www.petcoach.co/article/do-dogs-get-sad/ I recommend to reach back out to your veterinarian and have some basic diagnostics run like a fecal exam and bloodwork to make sure everything looks normal. Your vet may also try symptomatic treatment for stomach upset like anti-acids and a bland diet. Best of luck with Reggie.
