I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. It can be so hard when a grandparent dies. They were and somehow remain so much a part of our childhood. So of course the child inside needs to be comforted. That kind of goes without saying.
Your family is very fortunate to have you to take care of things. That in itself is a tough job; to do it, you have to hold all that emotion in. I hope you can delegate some of it at some point. It would be good for them. :-)
About your husband, I was going to say something along the lines of what Dinah said (only less eloquently, with less clarity and not as much insight. but the same thing.) Maybe your husband's reaction speaks more about his own fears of inadequacy than about your needs. Maybe something to explore... but later.
for now I hope your therapist has given you some of the support that you need and very rightfully deserve. I am sorry for your loss.
