You may be trying to make YOUR point, but I believe that many older people who we read about in this situation are in despair for many heartbreaking reasons. Terminal cancer perhaps with great pain, inability to personally, physically lift and care for their beloved spouse and do not want strangers to do it and be separated as in dementia too.
We don't know that many are because of inability to pay for healthcare costs although that is a very hard and awful thing to face.
There are many suicides that we all have heard about right here in The Villages, although the Daily Sun never prints a suicide,( that is old fashioned good journalism) we have heard about them even before the online news reported it.
It is the time of life when all kinds of completely unsolvable things overwhelm people. We may never know what was in their minds, but we can't stop caring and thinking about their loved friends and family.
