There are some ways to support a patient that are better done by friends and colleagues. This allows the family to focus on helping the patient in ways no one else can.
While a patient is undergoing treatment, it so often happens that many other things around the house go on the back burner, since treatment requires so much time and energy from the family as a whole. This is where friends and colleagues can step in and do many ‘little things’ that reduce the family’s stress and help them maintain some degree of normalcy in life.
