When families struggle to balance gravity with lightness during difficult transitions

My siblings and I want to create better memories with our aging parents, but every family gathering turns into discussions about health issues and logistics, and we can't figure out how to have lightness together anymore. We all feel the weight of time passing but don't know how to honor that while still finding joy in the present.
