Geez, Jericho, that's tough to deal with.
The best advice I could give, having not been through this myself, would be to be there as impartial support for your parents, and unilateral support for your sister. She is going to need your presence (not necessarily physical) more than anyone.
Your parents are adults, you can suggest that they maybe talk to someone, but outside of that, you have to let them make their own decisions. The key is not to own their issues. You can be a presence for them. You cannot take this on for yourself. You'll be doing no one a service with that, even if it feels like your instinct.
I'm sorry this is happening, Jack. I hope things work out. If you need a sounding board, you know I'm a PM away.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
