When couples disagree about Buddhist approaches to grief and detachment

My partner and I have been practicing meditation together for years, but since my father died six months ago, we keep having these silent disagreements about whether I'm 'accepting impermanence' or just numbing myself with detachment. Neither of us knows how to talk about what healthy Buddhist grief actually looks like.
