When babies are born, their families rejoice and

are quite overjoyed. Their parents are always there

to guide them and attend to their needs. As they

grow old, they are capable to do things on their own,

and some of them even choose to leave their homes

for greener pastures. When they finally find a good

job, they can take care of all their expenses.

Life is full of surprises, and it is very much

unpredictable. Many people die every day; are you

prepared for it? You can't say that you'll die at this

age because who knows, after an hour or a second

you may die.

As babies are born in this world, they come with a

cost. Their parents have to pay for their hospital

bills and other medications. And when people

finally rest in peace, their families will still have to

spend money for their funeral.

When a person dies, his or her family is sad because

they lost a loved one. And sometimes, the burden

is even more felt if they don't have enough money

to spend for the funeral. This is one reason why a

person should be prepared for death.

Although a lot of people are scared about death,

you shouldn't be that way. You should be prepared

and start living a good life for other people to

remember you by. Baby boomers should start

preparing for this event because for the next years

to come, for they will be the ones to face this reality.

The years 1946 to 1964 were also the years of increased

births. During these years, baby boomers were born. The

US government is expecting the death rate to increase

between the current years and will continue until 2035. It

can reach as high as 3.5 million annually, an increase of

about 50% of the death rate in the US alone.

As baby boomers reach their timeline, they are

about to face the final fact of life. All living things

must end, and man is no exception. Because of the

new technology in the medical profession, many

baby boomers' lives were extended or postponed.

But now, it's inevitable.

Perhaps, families of baby boomers are not yet ready. Even the entire population may not be ready to face massive deaths of baby boomers. Not one is interested, but their lives are slipping through even if they don't want it that way.

Seldom can you find couples talking about their

deaths. In fact, statistics have shown that many

people don't have the courage to speak about their

death. They find it hard to discuss matters about

death on a more personal level. But death is an

occurrence that all people must face and deal with.

The family of the baby boomers should be prepared to make

the final arrangements. And this has nothing to do with hotel

reservations. The final arrangements pertains to the funeral,

cremation or cemetery burial of their loved ones.

Baby boomers probably know that by now, and they

are preparing for their final trip. They came into

the world and their generation was highly noted in

history because of their large number. And now,

they will again make a history, only now, they

would be parting this world.

Most of today's individuals want to be prepared.

Typical examples are insurance plans and

educational plans. Final arrangements are now

widely acceptable in the society. In fact, there are

those who plan for their burial.

You have to overcome your fear. And baby boomers

are quite known to be strong individuals. So there

is no need to be scared now that you're in the last

stages of your battle in life.

If you've made your final arrangements, then you're

family and loved ones will not have much problems

during the funeral. They will be able to spend the

remaining hours by your side until you're finally

taken to your final destination.

When baby boomers were still in their youth,

they didn't want to grow old. Funny right, but guess

what, a lot of the baby boomers are now aging.

And now that they're old, they can't do anything

about it. The last thing they can do is to prepare

for the coming of death.
