I hope that you guys can give her some kind of memorial after things have settled down some. FWIW we didn't have my moms for about two months after she passed.
I’m so sorry! It always seems sudden even if you know it’s happening.
My dad was also super practical and cleaned the whole house out like the next day. Maybe that’s more common than you’d think? All I know was he had me taking her name off bills and clearing out all the drawers like 2 days later. It was a lot.
We didn’t have a super formal memorial for my mom but almost a year later we had her friends over the house and had the picnic type food that she liked and hung out. It was low key but I think people appreciated doing something. I don’t think there is a hurry if you decide to change your mind.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It doesn't make it easier, or less sad, because you knew it was coming. Be kind to yourself, and take the time you need to grieve.

I’m So sorry
For me, focusing on tasks can help me manage waves of emotions. Not the healthiest thing long term, but I know I respond to intense hurt or anger by cleaning/sorting things.
