Welcome Manna231,
It's good your bf has you to support him. This must be such a difficult time for all. Tips for talking with someone who is dying might be a place you could start. You mentioned 'young family', perhaps the article Talking with you and children would be helpful for you.
Do you and/or the family have support from healthcare providers or community support?

I think the fact that you are asking what you can do shows how much you care. Sometimes even putting that in words - letting your bf know you care and want to help but are really unsure of what you can do - is a good opening.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Katherine
