Today, Baby Boomer issues are mostly about concerns with maintaining their dwindling health and having enough money to live comfortably through their twilight years.

Probably one of the most difficult things you’ll every have to do, is care for someone with Alzheimers. The reality that the person with Alzheimers
is likely very close to you, only makes the task more challenging. Being armed with as much Alzheimers info as possible, and knowing where you can turn to if you need more help or information can make a world of difference. Being someone who cares for another human being puts you into a category with a high degree of burnout.

Bipolar depression is the part of the cycle where the person is at a low point. It is also referred to as manic depression. Signs include a low mood that is different from what they usually are, feeling guilty or worthless without a reason why, thoughts of death or dark thoughts, and feeling hopeless. These symptoms of bipolar depression can lead to suicide.
In addition, a person may experience lack of energy, irritability, changes in sleep patterns, and loss of appetite. It is easy to see why people suffering from bipolar depression have difficulty with relationships, maintaining employment, and getting through their daily activities.

“Everyone dies, but no one is dead, ” goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Dalai Lama’s ‘Advice on Dying’ takes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Holiness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare’s ‘little death”).
The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of traveling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so that we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment. Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that eternal bliss.
