When friends grieve differently and can't comfort each other

Our friend died and the three of us who were closest to him are all grieving completely differently and we can't seem to comfort each other or even talk about him without one of us getting angry or shutting down. We loved the same person but it's like we're mourning three different people and it's making us feel even more alone.
