By the time you're that age, you've had many love affairs gone bad. A single grandmother with successful career doesn't seem likely to kill herself over any man. She already knows there either will be another, or that she'd prefer none. And she had much to live for.

Unless you mean she was murdered by lover.

My first gut response was a disgruntled teaparty-type. Even a hit seems more likely to me. But that's just me.
