it's an expression
in this case = so sad to wish one could escape or find instant relief from some source of mortification
example:
I was messing around at work.
At that moment the boss walked into the office, and I just "wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole"
in this case = so embarrassed wanting suddenly to disappear
혼란을 드려 죄송합니다

Seems this elderly man's wish is to see it and after he'll be satisfied enough to die.
Or the man is tired of living and has no reason to go on.
