Contact your local hospice or hospital they usually provide free consultation or support groups. Come here or other sites people are willing to help. Taking time for yourself is essential. 5-10 minutes maybe 2-3 times a day would help. Walk, meditate, or sit and just focus on your breathing. You get the idea. Music is very helpful.
