Wondering if I'm doing the right things in my roll of caretaker/chore boy for my parents who are both terminal. I wonder how long I can do the right things for them.

Bless you for caring for your parents as their end nears. My parents are elderly and live in the midwest. I don't know if I would have your strength to caretake them. Luckily they are in fairly good health. I know that the most important part of what you do is the love energy you surround them in. I don't know the details of your situation, but hopefully you are not sacrificing yourself here.
I work with families that have an individual with a disability. Sometimes having a family member as a caretaker works, but it takes alot. I usually suggest the family member share the responsibility with an outside provider. This gives the much needed break for the caretaker. This helps to refresh and renew. Take care of yourself too.
