The time factor is often the Great Unknown in a Dying Process. A dying process has no fixed time limit and not knowing "how long we have" is hard for the dying person and the family. For this reason pacing yourself is very important.
Remember, whatever your feelings, they're 'OK' no matter how they feel or look to you. The above information was a small portion gathered from the fine people at Caregivertips.com For other resources on information regarding grieving and healing, visit our Helpful Links page.

Unless
you take time for yourself, for letting out your feelings and taking care
of your health, you may well run out of fuel before the process is over.
An early all out effort can exhaust you and cause you to resent the dying
person for taking so much of your time and energy. Before you get out
of bed each day, you might want to ask yourself, "What nice thing
can I do for myself today?"
