How siblings navigate grief while running a family business together

My sister and I both work at our family business and when dad died six months ago we inherited it together, but we can't separate our grief from our business decisions and every meeting turns into an argument about what dad would have wanted. We're destroying both our relationship and the company he built because we don't know how to honor his memory without using it as a weapon against each other.
