I guess some people are just bothered more by being a burden to others.  I know it would drive me crazy.  I would feel terrible every day knowing I was holding back my loved ones.  I would not be ableto stand it.

That's a tricky one.  That's now deciding what's best for them.  your daughters for example may see the burden of taking care of you as worth having you around two or three or however more years.  Plus suicide is always going to leave a lasting impact on those you leave behind.  Including guilt.  You'd be doing it for the right reasons, but it may not be the desired outcome.
