My mother-in-law, who was completely bedridden and crippled in her final years, often contemplated suicide, but she said that the thing that kept her from going through with it was that her neighbor, who had had terminal cancer, tried to OD, but survived and got sent to a psychiatric hospital for a month as a result. She didn't want this to happen to her, so she hung in there 'til the bitter end.

Happened in Latvia - they jumped from the 4th floor and the firefighter caught them from a neighbour’s flat on the floor below.
