I would take some time for yourself. Also suggest some therapy to help you figure out what you need to do to keep going. That may mean staying but hiring help so you aren't trying to do it all, or it may mean putting your husband in a nursing home. It may mean couples counseling if your husband is willing to participate.
Denmike you may try to do what my wife does, She reminds me that our vows were for better or worse and I need to remember that along with making sure I'm ok she also has to handle the things she normally does and the things I can no longer do and it's very hard.
