When siblings disagree on caring for aging parents

My brother and I are both taking care of our aging mother and we have completely different ideas about what she needs, but we've stopped talking about it directly and now we just passive-aggressively override each other's decisions. She's caught in the middle and I can see it's wearing on her but neither of us knows how to bridge this gap.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person are letting their different approaches to care create division instead of collaboration.
