How do I cope with losing someone I care for as a caregiver?

You did not just care for this person. You became their family, and they became yours. So this is not only a job ending. It is a loss coming, and you already feel it. That grief is real, and it is a sign of how well you loved. You cannot stop the loss, and you cannot control who comes next. But you can control how you spend the time you still have. Be fully present now. Let this person feel known and safe while you are still here. That is the part that will matter to you later. When the day comes, let yourself grieve like you would for any family. The stranger who follows is not replacing you; no one can. Start by writing down a few things you want to remember about this person. Those memories are yours to keep, no matter who walks in after.
