How to support?

A member of my Dhs family has been diagnosed with late stage cancer.
It's all a bit of shock and everyone is upset.
The woman in question is just lovely and would do anything for anyone and I really want to support her in some way.

If she was from my side of the family I would just go round and do the washing and cleaning etc or drop meals round, but I don't feel comfortable doing that with dhs side. They just have a different dynamic. They all love each other loads but are more independent and proud and I think me cleaning her house would be more stressful for her than anything else.

We would love to get her a gift or to pay for something practical (or just lovely for her) but am totally stumped as what to get.
We got her a hamper when she was first diagnosed but I'd like to get her something to lessen the load if I can.

Has anyone got any ideas or advice if you've been in this situation?
