I'd honor my mother's wishes and work hard to do what she wants to keep her comfortable. I might give succinct and sincere explanation one time to siblings and then let it alone. If the siblings are that ignorant, it's not likely you can change them. The Hospice social worker and clergy should be very helpful and give you much support moving forward.
