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.

From the moment we begin training as physicians, we’re conditioned to believe in our invincibility. We’re taught to prioritize patient care above all else, often at the expense of our well-being. Long hours, emotional strain and depletion, and the constant pressure to perform become our norm in life. And because we’ve chosen this path, we convince ourselves that we can handle it all—that we should handle it all.For years, I believed this lie. I thought I was immune to the emotional toll of medicine. But the truth is, no one is. The first time I experienced burnout, I didn’t even reco…

The year before, his daughter Tullia had died from complications from childbirth (the baby likely dying soon af…
