It sounds as though your family is going thru a great deal at this time. I'm sure it is a lot for you to handle as well. The people is our lives who care for us are the most important people during this time. It helps to know that someone cares and is there to support us. Love is one the best things in life. The fact that you are there and willing to support them is great. The small things are really important. It isn't how much you do but the fact that you are doing them that counts. A phone call, a visit, a meal provided and shared, any small reminder that you are there for them means more than you know to that person. My children and grandchildren were so supportive and even though they also had their own daily lives to deal with during my ordeal the things they did were appreciated and welcome no matter how small it may have seemed to them. Please know that your love and support are indeed a lot at a time like this.
Hugs and prayers

Praying for you...
I am keeping you in my heart... my husband died of colon cancer at age 43... Trust in God. Know that people are holding you in their hearts and praying for you - even people who do not know you, or even your name. There is grace to carry you through... Three people who were closer to me than anyone else in my life other than my daughter (mom, best friend, husband) all died in ten years; it was 10 years of cancer endurance, pain and loss. I did most of it without any kind of God in my life at all; you have such a blessing in your faith... If I could take the spirituality I have now back to my life then, I know my experiences (while still difficult) would be very different... Again, you are in my prayers. There is grace.0
