I do everything to make her feel like she's actually doing something of use of helping, but it's mostly about patience. Which sadly my father doesn't have...

I know this is super tough. Its incredibly tough on the spouse. I watched my grandmother die - she lasted about 12 years or something... a long time and watched him fall apart and lose everything financially along the way... and then,... bonus, watched him commit suicide.
There is just no easy way to deal with this stuff other than to try to accept it for what it is. I hate seeing people have to go through this. I am sorry you have to deal with this.
