Feather your selections before applying the blur filter.

If I understood you correctly, you could do this:


Select all the layers you want to blur and then go Cmd+G+Cmd+E ( Cmd+G isn't necessarily needed )
Take the Brush tool and Soft round brush ( round brush with 0 hardness ) and make the brush really big ( big enough to cover the whole area you want to blur )
Then run it across the area you want to blur while holding Shift button ( If needed, do it multiple times. )




If you really want the peak to be tight, you can use few different brush sizes.

OR


Select all the layers you want to blur and then go Cmd+G and Cmd+E ( Cmd+G isn't necessarily needed )
Make a new gradient. Gradient that has 3 opacity stops going from 0%
to 100% and back to 0% Color doesn't matter ( I used red so that it's
very visible )





Make a new layer where you place the gradient. Hide the layer.





Click the gradient layers thumbnail while pressing Cmd to
make a selection from it.





Then use Gaussian blur filter on it.








Cmd = Ctrl in windows.
