I always try to encourage families to be taking care of their physical needs, like making sure to drink water. A lot of times people don't feel like eating after getting horrible news or have you slept? Because that will impact folks' abilities to take in information. The other things I would tell them to do are ask that a nurse or a social worker can be there because often they have more time and will be able to translate stuff after the doctor is done. Your job is to get the information that you need; clinicians may not have all the answers either.
