This raises a number of things for me, but I'm left with the impression that at least the pain and suffering is validated by the fact that experts qualified to qualitatively measure suffering would argue that PTSD causes such intense suffering that death could be seen as a mercy.
I admit I have looked with actual jealous upon gravestones. I know it's a distortion of sorts, but it also tells me the extent of dismay with anything "chronic."
There is enough pain in living with some things that it takes a lot to insist that life still has meaning.
My lowest times are when I feel I cannot help anyone. My worst traumas involve not being 'able.'
Having choices and freedom is something at least. Having sympathy is always a comfort.
