When siblings disagree about caring for aging parents

My sibling and I are both dealing with our aging parents but we have completely different approaches to what helping them means, and every family conversation becomes this weird dance where we're advocating for our parents to each other instead of talking about our own fears about watching them decline. We're on the same side but we can't figure out how to be.
