Suicide? Don’t do it, seek help...please!

Very elderly downstairs neighbor, still walked outside to cook a pot of beans and do the laundry (washing machine and grill were outside on the patio). Tripped over the garden hose and fractured both her hip and arm.

She got patched up at the hospital and came home to recuperate in bed. Lost all will to recover fully, refused to get out of bed, then refused to eat. Got bed sores, then died. I was thinking maybe she felt good helping out the family with washing and cooking while healthy, but felt "worthless" once she became more of an invalid. Maybe quit eating so as not to remain a "burden" for other family members.

I don't know her motivations, just thinking out loud. Sad story.
