How families handle aging parents' life insurance premium payments

My siblings and I are supposed to decide whether to keep paying for our aging father's life insurance premiums now that he can't afford them, but we're all in different financial situations and no one wants to be the person who says we should let it lapse. The policy isn't worth much but it matters to him.
