It's pretty much likely that Regina will be fighting those dark impulses throughout the finale. Exactly, Regina is just grieving.

That fact that Regina opened up to Emma, about what she is going through, says a lot about her character growth. It is not fair that Robin died, and Emma knows that. Had she not ventured into the Underworld, Hades would never have gotten his powers back.

Though to be fair.... had Emma let Hook go in Camelot, Robin would still have died. Regina owed a debt to the Dark One's magic, and it unfortunately needed to be paid. Let's not play the blame game because at the end of it all it would stretch all the way to the gods who gave Merlin that cup.XD

I don't think it's even about that. Regina felt that the world/ fate worked against her and her happiness. The fact that someone as heroic (and a father of two children) would be destroyed forever is terrible. She would be upset at that for sure. Then, after the funeral and during the post-funeral feast at Granny's, she will find out that Hook has miraculously returned to life. It's the universe saying to Regina that Emma (the hero) gets her untold miracles, while she (a villain) gets nothing but pain.
