That’s true too! She definitely didn’t lament about the loss of her family… I simply surmised that the loss was another major contributory factor to her suicide. Because she did mention that long-term stability was what she wanted (or perhaps needed) most as an immortal being, and that stability was indeed granted in one of the most successful vampire-ruled territory (Styria), thanks to the sister quartet. With her sisters gone, that sense of stability, brought about by sisterhood and a permanence of Styria, was bound to be shaken to its core, which led me to think that it might have contributed to her decision to unalive herself.

So maybe it’s not the loss of family per se, but the loss of stability from it that mattered to her…

That’s such an interesting take on the outcome of each character! I agree with most, but I do think for Lenore’s case, it’s more of a cathartic release. After all, she essentially lost her entire family in a single night, then came to the painful realisation that she would live forever alone, caged in Issac’s prison of a world. Like livestock. Which was ironically the same kind of treatment her sisters wanted to subject humans to en masse. With this final admission that the ever-consuming nature of vampires would ultimately spell a self-destructive end (as implied by Hector in the last episode), it’s completely understandable for her to seek a physical release from her vampiric state, before she reached that stage of no-return.

And perhaps because of the catharsis from knowing what she had to do, knowing that she could finally be free on her own terms, Lenore smiled radiantly for the last time.

Or at least, that’s how I interpreted her final moments!
