Death With Dignity
Navigating the Inevitable: Understanding Death for Baby Boomers
In the journey of life, death is an inevitable reality that everyone must face. For the Baby Boomer Generation, this topic has become increasingly relevant. As these individuals approach their twilight years, understanding and preparing for this final stage can bring peace of mind and acceptance.
The Baby Boomers are a generation known for their resilience and adaptability. Their unique experiences and perspectives have shaped the world we live in today. Now, as they enter the later stages of life, they face the challenge of confronting mortality much like their parents and grandparents did before them.
Acknowledging the inevitability of death does not have to be a fearful or depressing endeavor. Instead, it can be an opportunity for reflection, planning, and the expression of personal desires for end-of-life care. For Baby Boomers, this understanding can provide a sense of control, peace, and even empowerment.

Today, I’m joined by Peter Zablocki, a professor at Caldwell University, host of the History Shorts podcast, and author of The Death of General Sikorski. I was introduced to Peter after I recorded the episode looking at the death of Sikorski with Chris Wroblewski. Chatting I discovered Peter had researched and written about an entirely different but fascinating subject: Private Snafu (you can read it here). For those unfamiliar, Private Snafu was the star of a series of black-and-white animated shorts produced between 1943 and 1945. These instructional films, aimed at U.S. servicemen, combi…

I talked with returning guest, Audrey Nick Hugh, the “Amazonian Warrior,” a veteran and founder of the Amazonian Warrior Foundation. Audrey’s foundation supports military personnel impacted by sexual assault and PTSD, while her advocacy extends to a pressing issue: deported veterans. This conversation had a different focus because Audry is helping Veterans who are not American citizens. There are documented cases where these Veterans get deported. Historically, immigrant veterans were guaranteed citizenship as recognition for their service, a practice dating back to the War of 1812. Howe…

Recently I have been hearing discussion of why families and significant others do not want hospice or EOL Doulas with them during the final moments of life. Families often do not want anyone with them as their special person is actively dying. That is alone, private time. Anyone else present is an intrusion, an invasion of privacy. My two cents: Yes, some may think it is a very private moment and do not want to share it with "strangers." HOWEVER, most people don’t understand how death happens. They don’t understand how people die. Movies tend to be today’s role model and that is not how …
