Devastate a family

Hi teachers,

"How much is it?" and "How is it?" don't mean the same thing, do they? So...

CARROLLTON — Joshua Caterbone knows how cancer can devastate a family. http://p.tl/xOhM

What Joshua knows is the way cancer can devastate a family, isn't it?

I think that "devastate a family" can mean "make a family really shocked," but, here, does it mean "destroy the relationship in a family"?
