I was ready to award you the title till that last sentence 😉 JRM is so weird - but he also has a giant support network* so maybe you still win?
But I do have a close friend whose mum passed away a couple of years ago, he took is unmarried, 40ish, no family/siblings/spouse/children or another parent in the vicinity, lived with her for 38/39 of those years, COVID conscious... He's not got a chronic illness, but just a bit closer to your situation. I tell you just so that you know there /are/ others similar, but I can understand why it feels extra extra alone :(.
