Gosh, that's a tough situation, isn't it? I know that saying no ca be very difficult. Have you tried talking to her about how you feel about all this at all? Perhaps you could sit down with her and explain that while you are glad to have been able to help her, that you are currently feeling a bit overwhelmed and need to have some time to focus on some of your own stuff. If you are willing to still help at all, perhaps you can make an offer to help her out one day per week or something, or if that is still too much, suggest something that is easier for you, (even if it is to not do anymore of it at all for a while, and having her check back with you in 3 months to see how you feel then). Let me know how it goes and if you need to bounce any other ideas off me before (or after) you talk with her.
