How families navigate different comfort levels with a parent dating after loss

My mom started dating someone new three years after Dad died and my sister thinks it's wonderful but I'm struggling with seeing her happy with someone else, and now family dinners are tense because we're all pretending everything is fine. Mom knows something is wrong but she doesn't know how to bring it up without making it worse.

What we've seen

A family is discovering that grief doesn't end on the same timeline for everyone, and new love can illuminate how differently each person holds the memory of what was lost.
