in the manual in the section grace-notes:

<<<<
   If you want to end a note with a grace, then the standard trick is
to put the grace notes after a "space note", e.g.
     \context Voice {
         << { d1^\trill ( }
          { s2 \grace { c16[ d] } } >>
        c4)
     }

see the file input/regression/molecule-hacking.ly in
/usr/share/doc/lilypond/examples or on the webpage.
