When siblings clash over end-of-life care decisions

My dad is dying and my sister and I keep having these awful fights about how to care for him — she wants to move him to a facility and I want to keep him home, but underneath it we're both just terrified and taking it out on each other. We're losing precious time with him because we can't figure out how to be on the same side of this.
