When siblings grieve a dying parent in incompatible ways

My father is dying and my siblings and I are all processing this differently - some want to talk about it constantly, others want to pretend everything is normal, and I'm somewhere in between. We're trying to support each other while also dealing with our own grief, but we keep misreading what each other needs.
