First off, he's been fighting to be allowed to pull
the plug for *years* through various courts and so
forth, so this is not something he just came up with.

Second, it may have taken him a few years to realize
that the doctors *were* right... that she's *never*
going to wake up... then a few more years to let his
wish to give her a measure of dignity to over-ride his
love for her -- and any futile hope of a recovery that
will not happen.
