I don't know what to say. I can empathize, but not really put myself in your shoes.
If the end is coming, the best you can do is be there for him until the end arrives. It comes one day for all of us. Grace has always insisted on a DNR, and to be truthful, as heartless as it sounds, I'd rather she go first. That way, she will never be alone, right up to it. I will then be alone, but better me than her, I think. It pains me to think of her having to navigate this shitshow all alone.
It sounds like you have a handle on all the details, so now all you have to do is surround him with love until God takes that job over for you. He will then have something a lot of people never have, and he will have it all the way to the Other Side. Can one person really give another a greater gift?
My heart breaks for you.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
