I really like Maybell's advice on coping with the stress of the situation. My C also focuses on the Emotionally Focused Therapy approach and the techniques have been very helpful.
Journaling can also be really great. The simple act of writing down what you are feeling, wanting to do or say can be really calming.

I don’t want to take this too far because I do recognize that it could be easily seen as me trying to fix his problems for him again, and that seems like a bad idea. But if I can get a foot in the door with this, it might be an idea.
Thoughts, as always, are appreciated.
Humble opinion: I think you should let him come to you if he needs help with any of this. Keep focusing on growing and healing yourself. Lovingly detach and take it one day at a time.
Back to EFT there is a great book called 'Hold Me Tight' focused on this approach. You may find it very interesting and helpful especially for what you are feeling right now.
