Day 28. The grief is still there. The sitting holds it now. That is enough. I keep going.

New to the dharma. Started sitting after losing my father. Reading What the Buddha Taught.

Where do you start when grief is in the way?
My father passed in March. I started reading What the Buddha Taught a week later. The sitting helps for a few minutes and then the grief comes back. Is the point to push through it, or to sit with it, or something else? I would be grateful for guidance from anyone further along the path.
