Many individuals in this community appear to view death as the ultimate goal or main event in their lives. Their attitude suggests a deep sense of despair and hopelessness, making death seem almost inevitable or even preferable. The environment or circumstances seem to lead people to see death not as a fear but as a release from ongoing suffering.

The quote from Miriam Toews' book, A Complicated Kindness, highlights this bleak outlook by describing people’s eagerness to die as if it is their main focus. The idea that avoiding a lifetime of suffering is the only reason they haven't already ended their lives underlines the depth of their despair and how pervasive such feelings are in their community.
