Spoiler Alert! if you haven't already seen 1883 the series on Prime Video Streaming I don't want to spoil it for you!
If you haven't seen this series already it is an excellent one and a prequel to "Yellowstone" set in 1883 after the Civil War the early 1860s. Two of the main characters were captains one in the northern Army and one in the Southern Army in this amazing story. When Captain Shea Brennan shoots himself while looking at the Pacific Ocean it's kind of hard to take. However, you have to consider that this is before Social Security and when you see him burn up the bodies of his wife and daughter in their house it is sort of a prelude to him ending his life at some point too if you are watching everything carefully.
He was wise enough to protect others by burning down his house (that he likely built) and burning up the bodies of his wife and daughter so they didn't infect other people with whatever plague they had died of.
Having been an officer he is able to get his wagon train of people (those who survive) to points west (wherever they wanted to go) and then since his life with his wife and daughter was gone and no social security and being of an advanced age he chose to quickly end his life rather than suffer on without them.
When you see his life in this context his taking his own life makes perfect sense with no social security or anything to depend on. His life was basically over so he ended it. He couldn't go on living without his family.

Even as a stand‑alone, without any ‘Yellowstone’ knowledge, it’s an
incredible ride. Sam Elliott is, as always, phenomenal. Tim McGraw is a
