When grief makes it hard to return to lightness together

My mom and I used to cook together and be chatty and laugh about stupid things but ever since my dad died two years ago our time together feels heavy and purposeful, like we're always processing grief or being meaningful. I want to honor what we've been through but I also miss just being normal and light with her sometimes.
