My dad passed away a week ago, trying to let him go

Hi, I didn't know where to ask how to properly let him go and heal from this. He died very young at only 47, and our relationship had just begun to be better for us, things like fighting less and being more understanding with each other. For this and his health that finally was better, I'm very angry/sad that an accident took him away. Fun facts are that he died on the same age his dad did, and on very similar terms with me. (My grandparent was trying to reach out to my dad and repair their relationship, my dad was doing the same with me). So this is all very strange and makes me confused, I wasn't ready to let him go. We've noticed strange stuff at home, things out of place and my mom even living on another house had some nightmares. We believe in energies and things that manifest during certain times, so I think it's time to say goodbye, since I never did when he got bad at the hospital nor in the cemetery. I wanted him to recover at all costs.

I thought of lighting a candle with a photo of him near me, say goodbye out loud and tell him I love him a lot, and that he was a great father despite all the ups and downs between us. Is this a good idea? I don't want to engage on some ritual that's not appropriate for my intentions.

And of course, if there's another place to post this where someone has a better answer please let me know, I didn't know where else to look.
