How families navigate different spiritual approaches to grief

Our mom died two years ago and my siblings and I all process grief so differently — some of us want to keep talking about her and honoring her memory through prayer and ritual, others want to move forward and say dwelling on it isn't healthy — and family gatherings have become minefields where nobody knows how to be together in our different stages of letting go.
