When siblings clash over how to support a grieving parent

My sister and I are both trying to help our mom through dad's death, but my sister thinks mom needs to 'move forward' and start dating again while I think she needs more time to just be sad. We've started snapping at each other in front of mom and I know that's not helping anyone grieve.
