I had a big gap in my paper journal this summer because of overwhelming events, so much so that I couldn't even write about them. I feel the best thing to do is just start today's entry. As you go forward, you can start to fill in what happened in the gap. My entries came back in fits and starts, going from months apart to weeks to days until I was back to mostly daily again. Short entries are fine. Your future biographer ;) will be able to piece it together. If you're using the same journal instead of starting fresh, you could leave a half page blank but for the words: I'll get back to this part later. Oliver Sacks wrote journals his whole life, which he rarely reread. In one if his memoirs he says, the important thing was the act if writing, just doing the writing, moreso than what he wrote.
