Due to COVID-19, my family will celebrate my grandma's birthday at her senior home and the cemetery visit to my grandpa gravestone in Westchester will happen next Spring. I felt that things will be different than in the previous years.

What will grandma's birthday this coming Sunday look like? 46.2.5 Pushing Upward/Advancing and Ascending to 39 Limping/Obstruction/Trouble.
46.2 speaks of joy comes from being sincere to my grandma.
46.5 speaks of good fortune of walking the steps in the ceremony.
39 speaks of meeting with my grandma.
Is it saying that the celebration will be joyful and be a good way of reunion albeit it will be at her place?

What will the cemetery visit next year look like? 38 uc Opposing/Division/Opposites/Alienation.
Is it saying that there will be conflict?

46.2.5>39.

39 as context. Describes one who is limping, whose movements are hindered, obstructed.
Sounds like the context of an elderly person in a nursing home that needs some assistance in getting around or that can't perhaps move freely like a younger person. Last time I got a line in this hex it meant literal limping for an old friend.

46.2 Talks about sincerity and the size of the offering not being so important, and a joyful experience. At the summer sacrifice, music was employed, sounds like singing happy birthday, maybe you can bring your guitar and you guys can sing some songs for Grandma.
46.5 Your Grandma is reaching her goals in life. Good fortune. She is with all due ceremony ascending upward, step by step, and in no rush.

Well 38 describes separation, disunion, mutual alienation.
It would be easy to say this is because Grandpa is in the next world and we are in this one.
But it could describe the state of your clan. Or maybe some disapproval on the part of Grandpa. Or maybe your Grandpa caused trauma, was an oppressive person burdening the living now when he shows up. Only you know that.
38 says in small matters good fortune. And here, the dead are pleased with small sincere offerings, as opposed to the Gods that require all you can muster, extraordinary efforts and dedication.
The shaman in me would suggest if your Grandfather was a loving good man, bring a small offering of food and drink, maybe incense if appropriate to his grave. This is good for bringing the whole clan together as well, and it has been my experience when the old folks are not happy, no one in the tribe is happy!
If however he was the source of family trauma, food and drink but omit the incense, as you want to omit any kind of atmosphere of veneration of an ancestor that you need to separate from. You don't want to draw them in that way if they are problematic, you don't want to connect with them more than as a obligatory familial recognition if they increase someone's troubles. That's the idea I would have in my head anyway.
And surround yourselves with a lot of light in any case.

Update: We will celebrate grandma's birthday at my cousin's new home in New Hyde Park, a several minutes drive from the Queens-Nassau border. If I were to take public transportation to get there, I would take the F train to the 179th St station and transfer for the n24 or n26 buses depending on location.

Every year, we will offer incense, food, and drink, especially rice wine. Next year, if Spring doesn't work, then late October in the Fall will happen. We burn joss paper money but next year we will burn twice the amount due to COVID delaying the visit. As with tradition, we wipe my grandpa's grave.

Edit: Today, September 24, is her real birthday, where she is celebrating with my parents at my house. She follows the traditional 8/8, not the gregorian 8/8.
