I often have trouble finding the ending of a story or a chapter. How do you know when you're at the end?

Sometimes, I need my beta readers/first readers to tell me. Other times, I sort of chop things off just as the characters are about to start something that I don't think the reader needs to see for the story to work. I feel like there isn't really an end; there's just a point at which the author's attention goes elsewhere.
