I never figured out if this is really a natural bodily process or if the person dying is committing slow suicide because they are so tired of getting old. Tired of fighting. Tired of living.

I say that because my mom tried to take her own life a week before she died. She had Sezary Syndrome which is blood, skin, and lymph cancer. It was horrible.
She stopped eating over a month before she died. I feel like she deliberately gave up and starved herself.
That does sound horrible.I think some people when faced with illness like that could certainly intentionally hasten the process. When I lived in Prescott which has a large senior citizen population it wasn't all that uncommon to hear of suicides of seniors that faced serious health issues. 1/2
Sometimes a pact where the other wouldn't want to continue living after their spouse who was facing death due to disease. I remember one where they called police and said in a few minutes you can find our bodies in front of a particular medical center and one shot the other and then himself.
