It is ever okay to give-up on living and go home to Heaven?

Recently, my health has gotten much worse and it is unlikely I will ever have a decent quality of life again. I am in constant pain and I need assistance to do even the simplest things. When is it okay to “give up” and go home? I know suicide is wrong, but is it wrong to just stop fighting to live when you’ve lived a full life."

It's a huge weight on our shoulders.

I wish the Bible said more about the subject."
