You need to take care of yourself. You need to keep up with your medications and doctor's appointments and consider speaking to hospice nurses or therapists of some sort. Because you are going through as much as your loved one, only you're watching it on the outside. You need to be able to keep up your energy, which means you need to eat and take care of yourself.
I know that all sounds so easy, and it's not, but you are your own caregiver as well, and at some point, everyone in the world will become a caregiver. Even if it's just to an animal. You will be a caregiver and must watch out for your emotions.
