Final answer:

After Jonas leaves and the Giver has helped the community with the memories that were released, the Giver wants to be with his daughter, Rosemary, who he may have lost due to her being unable to bear the weight of all the memories alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

After Jonas leaves and the Giver has helped the community with the memories that were released, the Giver wants to be with his daughter, Rosemary, who he may have lost due to her being unable to bear the weight of all the memories alone. The Giver wants to reunite with his daughter in death by releasing himself from the pain and burden of carrying the memories alone.

In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, Rosemary was the previous Receiver of Memory and she requested to be released because she couldn't handle the intense emotions and experiences that came with the memories. The Giver wants to join Rosemary, believing that the memories and their burden should not be carried by a single individual, but shared among the community.
