You certainly have a lot to cope with but somehow we find the strength to carry on.  When my husband died 10 years ago and left me the sole carer of my daughter who has learning disabilities, I couldn't see a way forward.  I'm now 72 and still in my caring role, in fact I think it keeps me going.  It's hard but you really will cope.
