How do you negotiate sibling relationships and family (parents) caregiving?

Having discussions about family caregiving and the loss of control are difficult. One way to approach this issue is to have family meetings in advance so that everyone has a chance to present their opinions. Several meetings may have to occur before all the decisions are made. It will take a while to get everyone on the same page.
