It's not easy keeping up with everything that a parent with cancer needs done. It may be uncomfortable asking friends and family to help with household tasks, but they're often eager to contribute. Ask them to:
- Wash and sort a load of laundry.
- Do the dishes or empty the dishwasher.
- Clean out the refrigerator.
- Walk the dog or feed the cat.
- Care for houseplants.
- Shovel snow from the walk or driveway.
- Water or weed the garden.
- Form a "maid brigade" once a week to dust, vacuum, and clean bathrooms.
