Agree and disagree in parts with blackbirdrising
At the risk of repeateing herself, lol, at points, here's mine:
No, your mother dying in the dream means she died in your eyes because her husband did.
Your dream is about the shock of her grief, but more importantly its affect on you and you trying to keep it together.
So, if you had this dream after your dad's death, your sister looked to you for support and comfort and your father was still alive in your mind, meaning it seems you had not accepted his death or held onto him, as you said you did til a week ago.
Him being extremely ill is probably his ill understanding of you and how close to letting it go you always were since 2005. How close to death he was in the dream.
perhaps you knew, or thought, your sister would soon lose that too, or let go. But your sister could be another, closest part of you.

YOUR TWO VIEWS.
Your view of him has alternated between sick and helpless, and an overbearing giant emotionally and mentally starved vulture - scavenging on you.
As the monster, he was in no man's land, mentally, as you thought of your early years growing up with him.
Perhaps, in life when you first saw your father as a vulture, with his back towards you, or facing away from you in defiance, you naturally had an overwhelming desire to embrace your father in his ill nature, as any son might.
But as you tried to get closer to him in this state he continued to decay and disintegrate, your relationship did.
Nothing memorable passed between you two.
You saw that he was hugely blind.
And that his expression was rotten.
Gruesome as he appeared, you felt an odd catharsis, closeness, and a sense of loss. For he was always your father.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RECONCILIATION
The end of the dream was about you finally forgiving him.
You saw your sister, who may really represents a part of you in the dream, or as well, by your father, and you broke down and began crying and apologizing.
You wanted the thought of your father now to comfort you, and you thought to take it a day at a time, making a 'date' -a future time ~ when you would get together, making you even sadder your peace with him would not include him.
You woke up then to that reality, which was an incredible accomplishment for you.
