I'm so sorry your family has had to face so much of it in your family and, from the sounds of it, you've had little to no respite as one after another is afflicted with dementia.

Maybe give yourself and your siblings that respite over Christmas and then face the hard realities afterward. I've been through this with many families -- it's so hard being the one who's facing reality and jumping in to help. You deserve praise and warm hugs!
