Rose,
I can understand how overwhelmed you feel; I am just in awe that you're dealing with all that's happened to you and your family this year...you are one tough lady.
When I started treatment 5 years ago, I had to MAKE myself take time to do the things that were necessary for me to survive; ie a good diet, exercise, putting myself first sometimes but not all the time as that's not good either :) It helps if you set one goat at a time, such as "today I'm going to exercise for 10 minutes". Once that is worked into your daily regimen, then increase the time gradually. This works well with dietary modifications also, tackling one aspect of your diet at a time. There are now some entire days when I realize I've done it all! Other days life happens and I didn't keep all my promises to myself, but I reslove to start anew in the morning. Over time, you will teach yourself to take care of yourself first, then you will have more to give to others.
You can do it!
Love, Lolly
