I kind of want to take a break, but since I already worry that some of the players have lost interest in the game, I fear that when I am ready to come back, I will have lost a bunch of them.
I have put a lot of work into this game and I'm not ready to end it.

Then finish it to a natural place to pause and take a break. Some of my original online group well, thats what we used to do. Then, you can pick up where you left off, and the old players who may have fallen off well they can disapear however a creative manner you wish as a GM, and new players can be brought in however creativley you wish.
Like you find a village that is receptive to you to hold up and recover.
Bill Bob, he got a fever and died. Or Joe, got bored, and decided to see what was over the hill and we haven't seen him again.
"The kid, he came walking into the village one day, says he and some freinds had made it out, but they hit a mine, and blew up their hummer and most of their gear. He looked like shit, clothes torn, bruised and bloody and he hadn't eaten in days. We gave him some of Bill Bobs things. It turns out "The kid" was a water purification specialist and he managed to clear the cholera that was tainting this places water. Now, the villagers can't do enough for us."
Something like that would be kinda a good way to take a break.
