I'm sorry everything is piling up on you. Just keep in mind that if you are going to be any help to your mother, you have to take care of yourself. That means taking breaks when you need them. You may have to be firm because of your mother's fears, but just because you volunteered doesn't mean you have to be at her beck and call. It's not up to you to protect your mother from her own fears, but it is nice to try and help her out because you realize this will be hard for her. Just don't feel guilty about putting yourself first now and then. Its your right as a human being and you deserve it.
I hope your sister gets well soon. Having two people in the immediate family in the hospital would stress anyone out.
