I believe its true. My Grandmother-in-law passed away and her Husband became so depressed and lost the will to live. He was not ill but died 2 weeks after her.

Years ago, happened to me. It's true . You just give up on life and don't feel like living no more. Of course I was on a deep depression.
Fortunately , its past :)

Depressed people will feel alone,feel like no one cares,they feel the whole world's against them and judging them.They also feel that they're no longer important to anyone even if they're told they're loved.

Absolutely true! It's been proven time and time agin in hospitals, where the difference between the ones who die and the ones to live is whether they have the will to live.

I wasn't to sure cause it's become kinda hard to believe what's on the internet anymore.
I had also planned on calling a professional to see if it was true.
Thnak you everyone for your answers.

The human body had a built in safety device to fight for life. But, I do believe people can loose interest in staying alive. Self destruction...subconscious suicide. Hmm...I just made that up but it sounds pretty good to me.

Years ago my dad ended up in the hospital. He maintained a postive attitude as he endured several procedures and a surgery. He would quip, "Piece of cake!" after each procedure. Even after he had his leg amputated, he held on to this attitude. But the first time he saw what was left of his leg, I saw a look on his face that I will never forget. It was the look of defeat. And that was the day he lost the will to live. He died less than a month after that, even though the doctors had said he would be fine.

When I was a nurses aid in acouple nursing homes I used to visit with one of the ladies there who claimed she had nothing to live for anymore cause her family had just dumped her there and never came to see her.
I spent everyday with her,having lunch with her etc.It seemed to picked her spirits up some knowing that someone cared.

I lost my husband 17 years ago and after losing him,
I felt like I couldn't go on without him.We had four
children together and although my childrens lives
and their best interests were the utmost of importance,
I couldn't take care of them the way they needed to be.
But things changed and although it was hard,painful,
heartbreaking I went on with life.I raised my children
on my own;they're now adults loving life the way their
father would've wanted them to.Life and death has a way
of putting things into perspective.I'll never forget
and my children,well teens now will never forget.

That is not the case for everyone. There are different causes of depression. You can go into depression if you lost a loved one, lost your job, have an illness... etc.
I have been into depression before. I knew there were people who cared about me and never felt anyone was judging me. I also knew I was very important to some people.
To your original post - yes it is possible to lose the will to live. I had felt like that before too.
