My partner has stage 4 kidney cancer

Just wanted to see if anyone was in a similar position.. My 21 year old girlfriend has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer, and I support her in every way I can. Recently I've found it more stressful being supportive but I want to be because I love her. 

I never really get time to myself anymore and I'm constantly working.. Any advice for coping mechanisms for dealing with stress
