I was briefly legally blind for a period of two months last year before having a vitrectomy in one eye, and laser surgery in both.
As an artist and a writer, you don't find reasons to commit suicide as soon as you can't do what you want to. You find ways to continue doing what you love.
I don't personally believe in suicide, though there have been periods in my life in which I wish I were simply not in existence.
After having cared for a family member who has been in a semi comatose state, I have expressly said to my husband to pull the plug on me if I'm ever found in this condition. And if I live after that? I will have to deal with it. Unfortunately. I doubt I will be able to voice suicide in this state, but I am also probably very stubborn to keep existing.
I think the only uncontrollable and unstable emotional states which I would consider suicide as a quick off option is if I found my kid dead as a child( heaven forbid... I find myself tearing up at the mention of that). That means I failed to rear her into an adult, and failed at life ultimately.

I wouldn't blame it solely on selfish kids. In general, kids grow up caring about their aging parents about as well as they were cared about by their parents when they were growing up.
But you're right, freedom-minded societies have a problem with maintaining healthy families. I do not necessarily care for the idea of a communal life with all of society, just within my own family.

I don't think about death at all.
