Although Louisa loved him and begged him to live, he said he needed to die - he couldn't live like that although he knew others loved and cared for him. He was going to put himself first this time. But as a result of that, Louisa would be able to live the life she was meant to live. I love all the other answers though - it's interesting how everyone has their own idea of it. Maybe that was the author's intent.
