Sorry to hear that comrade. This was one of the worst years for me as well. I'd say I hope that next year will be better but I said that every year and it just gets worse. Turns out that hope is worthless in hellworld.
At this point I can sort of deal with it getting worse, I mean it depends on what and how it gets bad, but I just want my grief over mom passing to let up.
the only thing that will help that is time. it's just a fact. I think the healthiest and most helpful thing to do is to accept the fact that you're going to be sad for a while, but also not to be frightened by it because you know that it will pass with time. just engage with your sadness for what it is.
it will probably take about 6 months to really let up. that sucks, but it's also important to recognize because the context helps you avoid a doom spiral.
I can certainly point you to plenty of authoritative resources that state this, but from what you've told me of your dad, it doesn't seem like that would matter to him.

Please tell this to my dad because he wants me over it now.

No it would not matter to him. Matter of fact, he's already moved on past mom, wow what a champ!
