this was my great-grandmother. The last two years of her life were her just waiting to die, and if she hadn't thought it would doom her to hell she would have done something herself.
I have to say I sort of understand where she was coming from. She lived to over a hundred years old. Her husband and children had passed by the time she was 98, all of her friends were dead, she couldn't participate in public (church etc) life in a way she found fulfilling... It honestly seems like a terrible situation to be in.
