This is very common with caregivers. We merge with the loved one's illness, become invisible to outsiders and occasionally get the "thoughts and prayers" line.
First, I do recommend a Caregiver Support group; a real one not an online thing. They are for family and friends. There you will find others in your situation and find out what resources are available. They usually meet once a month.
Second, you may have to "force" others to get involved. Sorry, not sorry. You may have to ask them to forgo "thoughts and prayers" and come over for a few hours and take over, shop or mow the lawn. You can't do it all. Also pass on keeping people "updated". This gets tiresome.
Third, I recommend reading Cruising Through Caregiving.
