When it comes time to make the decisions of care for a loved one. who is near the end of life, and it is certain that there is no likely cure, what becomes important is to assure as much comfort as possible. The care given is palliative care.
Keep in mind as a caregiver, assumming that you are the health care proxy, guardian or you are close relative or friend, it remains important to eat well, sleep sufficiently, and exercise to maintain your ability to think straight. Therapy and/or pastoral advice is probably a good idea as well.
