As 78 million baby boomers pass middle age, a dialogue continues to grow focused on aging and end of life issues. This blog aims to encourage and enhance contemplation and open dialogue about death. In sharing the process and emotions associated with the end of life, we can become a self-generating supportive community. As we glimpse other people grappling with death and it’s consequences, we know we are not alone or unique. Whether you are contemplating your own mortality or facing issues arising from the death of a loved one, this is a supportive place to find resources, share personal insights, and learn from the experiences of others. From this human condition, universal themes emerge. I hope individuals are inspired to understand the complexities of this traumatic transition and navigate it as a singular journey, finding comfort and meaning.
