Just try and understand that he`s not being himself and time is the healer. It is common for people the shut themselves away from everyday life,whilst others handle it the opposite way round.If this has been going on longer than 3 months then he needs bereavement counseling. Just try to understand him. Its horrible for him right now.

Does he have family? He should be seeing a doctor to determine if he needs treatment for depression. If he has no family you can contact see if there is a help group in you area and call them for advice.

 i'm sorry for your husbands loss. greieving effects different people in different ways. you need to try and understand that he loved his granmother so much and now he hs to figure out in his mind how he's going to deal with it pshycologically. what i suggest is letting him know you are alway there for him if he needs to talk but you respect his need for space and time to move on in his own way.
in time, he will accept her passing and return to himself but the wounds are sore and open, but they will heal.
best of luck
