I'm sorry for your loss. Grief is never easy, and it's especially more difficult when you have the responsibility of managing your loved ones' estate.
My mom lost her mom a few months ago. She was the executor of her estate too, and she also lamented that she never got the time or space to mourn. My relationship with my grandmother was complicated, for me the hardest part was knowing that I'll be doing the same for my mom someday, probably sooner than I'd like.
I tried to help her through it, but she wouldn't really let me. I think she felt that cutting through all the red tape and working through family stuff gave her something to keep her occupied, although it was clear that it wasn't easy. She's finally starting to make the time to mourn now, and I know that someday you'll get a chance to too.
Anyway, I'm not much of a mom, but if you need help, advice, or someone to send you a hug, I'm here for you
