When families disagree about recession impact on elderly parents

My siblings and I are watching our parents lose a significant chunk of their retirement savings, and we can't agree on whether this is just normal market volatility they should ride out or if this recession is different and they need our help. The problem is none of us really understands what makes this financial crisis distinct from previous ones.

A family must distinguish between ordinary market fluctuations and genuine financial crisis while protecting vulnerable members.
