P.S. I didn't see this as suicide, but a reasoned acceptance of no longer taking the daily meds that kept her alive. Without her husband, she's already checked out. She's lived a good, long life. The world will carry on without her. If she could get her meds, she'd stick around, I believe, but in these times (and what a great, succinct, vivid portrait of these times!), she cannot get the meds, so she calmly and stoically lets nature take its course.... sniff! .... what a grand and gracious lady!
