Comment on poem , any improvements to make this poem better & more in depth ?

I wrote this to cope with my grandma death on Monday. hope you can help.

The poem is as follows:

How do I comfort grieving daughters & sons missing & pining for their mother ?

What do I say to a woman who has lost her husband recently & now her mother ?

Who does a grieving husband turn to when he is thinking of his love , his late wife?

Where do I go when my mother is missing her mum and has to be strong for her father & family?

Why am I feeling so numb when I should be crying a river ?

When will this feelings of loss & sadness change to something better?

So many memories with you, grandma that are whirling , floating in my thoughts.

I pray that you will join your love ones in heaven and may someday we will be reunited for eternity.

    Those are your words, thoughts and feelings and they are beautiful.... you shouldn't accept any outside influence... YOU'RE in the moment, not us and your family will appreciate it a lot!

    Apart from the spelling corrections, I wouldn't change a thing.

    Poems that have a lot of emotional significance and feelings in them really don't need to follow normal 'rules' of poetry.

    Though I would prefer you write 'and' instead of having an ampersand (&)

    That's all the critique I really have.

    Nice work!
