Although I am unable to make a terrible situation any better for you or your family, I can extend a big *******HUG****** I know its not much, but....... I still remember what it was like in 2003..........from Sept. through Dec. it was like what you are experiencing now. It seemed as though it would never get light again.
Just hang on.........take a deep breath and try to get enough rest, some distraction to take you to a place where it is pleasant for you.........and be kind to yourself. It will get better. It never goes away entirely, but believe me it will get less stressful.
I'm trying to. My brother just ignores what's going on and hides all day. I just try to keep everything in and keep a level head right now (aka reasons for rants via blog) because I'm the only thing pretty much keeping my mom from completely losing it. It's pretty much like the same routine I had to go through in '05 when my grandma was dying from brain cancer.
There are some distractions I have so I don't lose it. Right now I'm performing in a summer play...and my friends have been fantastic support. My cousin decided to throw a Harry Potter themed party for her Sweet 16 next month and has tasked me with helping her find props and such to keep me busy. (I'm going to be Mrs. Weasley. Badass, yet motherly. and my best friend is going as Bellatrix. We plan to re-enact the battle. Win.) Not much, but enough to keep me somewhat sane...

Just. Oi. That's all I got right now. Too much stress to think straight.
