Most stories, (fairy tales at least), end as "... and they lived happily ever after." That's not always the case, but it illustrates a point. That is, the story ends when a crisis that might prevent people from "living happily ever after" is resolved. It's usually in people's favor, sometimes not, but in any event, "closure" is brought to the crisis.

So end the story when the main crisis is over and let the people "move on to the next stage of their lives" without the reader.
