In my own case, I can see how someone could take the early exit. Looking at my own life, I know my wife's immediate financial prospects are better if I check out early, because one life insurance policy will more than pay off the house, and the other one will pay for the funeral, burial, and other related expenses and still have money left over. Sadly, in this world, it's not about how good a person you are, how willing you are to work, or anything else but "Where's the money you owe me?" Doesn't matter how much you love anyone, or how much you tell 'em. The ONLY thing that matters is whether you can pay. If you can't pay, this world has no use for you.
My great-grandfather's death was a suicide. He was 91, he'd had one leg amputated below the knee because of poor circulation, and doctors were planning to take his other leg for the same reason. He OD'ed on his meds. And I'm not so sure my grandfather on Mom's side didn't commit suicide. He drowned in a trail-riding "accident," trying to cross a river that as trail boss he'd already told everyone else that we weren't going to even attempt to cross because the river was too high and the current was too swift. A week before, doctors had done a liver biopsy on him--he'd been driving a truck delivering gasoline and heating oil for 25 years at that point--and I think he knew the results weren't good.
But y'know what? The world kept on turning without them. When life stopped for them, it went on for others. Been that way forever. And for anyone who misses them, they have granite markers in their respective cemeteries to remind us they were here. World's still gonna go on turning after I leave as well. Maybe when I'm gone, someone will put up a marker for me, if they care enough to do it. I won't be there to see if they do or not, so I guess it won't matter.
