All you can do is all you can do.

You are doing great. Other family matters will recede for the time being.

This passage is what you are here for. Keep her as comfortable as possible. That will help ease you as well.

Then you can deal with the rest of life one step by one step.

Get as much outside help as possible to afford some quieter times here and there to enjoy the company of your spouse, whether or not he is fully on board with what needs to happen during this time.

This sounds to me like it is "your thing" for the time being. So be it. It will all work out.

Once again - you are doing great.
