It appears that the writer is considering life and death. Maybe someone is choosing ill health, and the family members are not in favor of that person's bad choices (drinking maybe or drugging or overeating, whatever) and they are not willing stand by and watch that person dying - therefore
"one's sympathies (leanings/desires) were all on the side of life"

"One's sympathies," she means "My sympathies"
in the old fashion instead of saying I or MY they used to use One as in The Death of the Moth By Virginia Woolf
