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.

With so many of us confined to limited movement during the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been touching base (OK touching is a bad word) with colleagues, clients and close friends. The gist of the discussions have to do with “what do we do now?” An old title from my archives came to mind. I though…

With so many of us confined to limited movement during the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been touching base (OK touching is a bad word) with colleagues, clients and close friends. The gist of the discussions have to do with “what do we do now?” An old title from my archives came to mind. I thought I’d dust it off and share. I hope this thought will be helpful to you as you figure out your “new normal.” Here it is from the vault. We all suffer the daily grind. Some days are better than others. For anyone in management or leadership, you need to take a pause to make some critical ass…

Today, we’ll explore a transformative practice: the art of surrender and how this one essential spiritual skill can guide you toward a life of happiness and contentment and leave anxiety far behind you.As we enter autumn, nature invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty of transition. The changing seasons naturally align with introspection. The shorter days, crisp air, and vibrant landscapes evoke a sense of nostalgia and gratitude, reminding us of the impermanence of life.Autumn encourages us to slow down and be present. This stillness creates the perfect space to practice sur…

It’s no accident that we write about food so often here on SuperAging News. Study after study proves the link between healthy eating and longevity and, conversely, the association between poor diet and disease. So we took particular note of this story about the lack of nutrition training doctors receive in med school. It makes it all the more important for us to be informed and vigilant about our own diet.On television shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Resident” and “Chicago Med,” physicians seem to always have the right answer.But when it comes to nutrition and dietar…

Someone asked me about deathbed rituals. They wanted to know what to say and do when someone is in the moments before death and what to do before the funeral home arrives. Here are my suggestions: In the hours to minutes before death, gather family and significant others. Encourage each person to spend some time alone with the person dying. This is the time to talk from the heart, to talk about the good and the challenging times, to speak of love and forgiveness. This is a private time. The person dying will be non responsive, breathing erratically, probably with their eyes partially open. I…

It’s early spring and I’ve just traumatized my body with a heart-stopping, mind-numbing plunge into Lake Michigan. With winter’s icy chill still very much in charge, taking the dive was so excruciating that it seemed almost death-defying. But afterward? Amazing, rejuvenating, exhilarating (I survived!). At the same time, somehow, I felt a pervasive sense of calm. Truly, a top-of-the-world feeling that stayed with me all day long.So, I get why cold therapy has become all the rage. From open water swimming and ice baths to cold plunges and whole-body cryotherapy, this centuries-old pra…

We are not as smart as we think we are. We're busy and distracted in a world that is incentivized to continually make us more of both. The only things that work, the only messages that cut through the noise, are sharp, clear, and direct. We’ve all been advised to “not judge a book by its cover,” to “not count your chickens before they hatch,” and that “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Maybe for you, what comes to mind is something political, like Patrick Henry’s revolutionary “Give me liberty, or give me death!” or more recently, Barack Obama’s “Yes We Can.” Now thin…
