Add to what Bruce & Ali have said - impose.
My Mum is at her best when it comes to standing by friends during illness. Possibly because she grew up in a large extended family and death was never a taboo subject, she can deal with it without the usual embarrassment. I can't say how she does it, but mostly I assume by being herself and listening, she manages to tread the line between being a friend in need and letting the family have enough time.
The impression I get is that time weighs heavy on someone confined to a bed and they welcome every distraction. If you can handle it - and not everyone can - I think you will be welcome.
Life is life, neither fair nor unfair. But it seems such a waste when people who love life and have so much to live for die slowly and painfully, while others who drift unhappily wishing they were dead end up making other people unhappy all their lives.
