I implemented as suggested. And yes this makes it possible to type again, but the pinentry still running in the background and if you hit enter two times it comes back and the terminal acts weird. See screenshots

gpgme_error_t err = gpgme_cancel(_ctx);
const char* s;
if (( s = gpgme_get_ctx_flag (_ctx, "redraw")) && *s)
      if (!system("reset"))
            log(LOG_ERR, "Could not reset terminal. Reset Terminal suggested");
fail_if_err(err);
 _ctx = gpgme_wait(_ctx, &err, false);
 fail_if_err(err);
 gpgme_release(_ctx);

There must be a possibility to proper kill the pinentry
