Be a friend: Just by sitting and talking with them and letting them tell you about how they feel and what they hope and fear, you can help them. Also suggesting or doing things for them without having them ask- bring a meal for them to reheat, take their dog out for a day, all the little things they have less energy for that you can do helps them a lot. Do the laundry, the grocery shopping, and so forth.

Most scary place : Cancer make people age right in front of our eyes, is a scariest place to be - just being in their life is a tremendous support to them. It is said in history god wants witness - sometimes letting people know their suffering is validated by being there for them shows tremendous love and support u r serving a small part of divine love.
