When definitely any other (solution) is lacking
My comment:
It is confusing because the word 'solution' is not mentioned in the second sentence, but in the first one. The author is saying that when any other solution, except the most extreme, disappears, the suicidal person is left with an unspeakable pain...his sadness, then, is infinite. Because it is very hard to die, regardless of the platitudes about it...
My references:
None. I am a native Italian who likes to help...

When all other solutions become unfeasible
My comment:
"Venir meno" means "to be no longer availabe", "to be no longer feasible".
