I went through this with my sister 10 years ago. One thing that stands out: work. My employer was great, very supportive, no pressure at all. By contrast, my other siblings were constantly stressed out. They kept trying to squeeze in work at the hospital, saying stuff like, "My boss knows I'm at the hospital with my stage-4 sister, but he keeps calling me. He's gonna fire me if I don't get back in the office." This is when I fully realized the value of company culture - actually caring about staff, or at the very least, not treating staff like shit.

I'm still at the same company, and I have never even considered quitting (no serious consideration, that is), mostly because of this experience. It meant that much to me.
