When you are old, you might have a different and to some way wiser and more distant way to cope with things, even when the it's one of the most horrible things that could happen to you as an old man. The last shot is absolutely brilliant indeed. I had a "so this is what the movie is about" moment when I saw the scene and it suddenly gave the whole film another level of meaning for me. Even up until the end, everything was shown very subtly and differently from how people normally would shoot those scenes. I loved it. I think it makes a lot of sense.
