When couples grieve shared loss with different timelines and needs

My husband and I fostered a child for two years and recently had to say goodbye when they reunited with family, and we're both grieving differently - he wants to foster again right away, I need time to process, and neither of us knows how to honor both our needs while we're heartbroken.
