How can I help the family?

Night watch

If you're comfortable with it, offer to stand night watch. Some patients need round the clock care, with someone always awake to tend to them. This usually falls onto the family and they only get a few hours of sleep a night. With you awake taking care of the patient, the family gets a much needed full nights sleep.
