Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The idiom "buy the farm" is a slang euphemism that means to die or crash (originally used in military aviation contexts where a crash might literally destroy a farm, requiring compensation, or referencing a soldier's dream of returning home to buy a farm). Therefore, "stop living" is the most appropriate meaning.
