📺You may have also missed coverage of our work with #BBC South News on rising public health #funeral rates, with findings suggesting that reducing deprivation among older people could lower the need.

Also I'd like to mention an another interesting project - Death Over Dinner (https://deathoverdinner.org/) it is an initiative launched in 2013 to spark conversations about death and end-of-life wishes over shared meals.

With over 100,000 dinners worldwide, it offers tools, prompts, a resource library (reads, watches, listens), and editions like Australian and Jewish.

Part of RoundGlass, it aims to normalize death talks, reducing suffering through communication.

The subject of death should no longer be taboo, because death is a part of life. Do not ignore this important part.

“Our great-grandparents were told that babies were found under gooseberry bushes or cabbages; our children are likely to be told that those who have passed on… are changed into flowers or lie at rest in lovely gardens.” — Caitlin Doughty

The task of an end-of-life doula is therefore not to improve the client’s condition in the moment, but to create a safe and comfortable space so that they can understand and live their feelings here and now: express them, cry, get angry.

Contact with an end-of-life doula can significantly improve the condition of the dying person and their loved ones.

They do not have personal relationships with their clients and will not unload their emotions on them, even if it is difficult for them.

To cope with their condition, doulas undergo supervision and many also undergo personal therapy.

When a person experiences a tragedy, be it with themselves or with a loved one, an end-of-life doula can come to the rescue.

This is a person who knows how to support you, what words to say, how best to behave and how to accept the inevitable. This person also accompanies the family after the death of the loved one.

This person is not a doctor, they cannot prevent the inevitable, but they can help you deal with grief and loss.

A doula knows exactly what you may be experiencing, how to answer your questions and how not to make it worse.

First Reminder of Windows 10’s Retirement

Windows 10 was first released on July 29th, 2015, to address the issues that Windows 8 brought and to give you new amazing features. It featured a redesigned start menu, an elegant look, and new functions that simplify your workflow. It was initially thought to be the last version of Windows, as it would provide feature updates every six months in its initial release. Since then, Windows 11 was released on October 5th, 2021, and that’s when everything changed.

Feature updates have been made to release yearly, with monthly cumulative updates being made as usual. Windows 11 brought to you many new features, such as new, sleek, modern design, new ways to streamline your workflow, and brand new features that allow you to perform everyday tasks like never before. As a result, Windows 10 has been given a final date in which the Home and Pro editions will no longer be supported.

The retirement date for the operating system is October 14th, 2025, according to the list of end of life dates.

However, if you’re running LTSC versions of Windows 10, the following dates are decided:

• Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021: January 12th, 2027 (mainstream)
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021: January 12th, 2027 (mainstream), January 13th, 2032 (extended)

Your computer will continue to work after the end of life date, but Microsoft recommends that you migrate your installation to Windows 11 to continue receiving software updates, especially the security ones. Additionally, most software manufacturers are expected to take out support of Windows 10, meaning that they’ll now require Windows 11 to run.

For instance, we are taking steps to take out support for Windows 10 for our applications in the following stages:

• January 26th, 2025: We’ll start notifying users about the support of Windows 10 in the next servicing versions of Nitrocid KS.
• February 28th, 2025: We’ll no longer provide support for Nitrocid KS on Windows 10 for all the supported releases (0.1.0.x, 0.1.1.x, and 0.1.2.x).
• October 14th, 2025: We’ll provide another reminder like this when Windows 10 mainstream support ends.
• December 17th, 2026: We’ll no longer provide support for all of our applications and libraries on Windows 10 for all the supported releases.

Upgrade your systems to continue receiving support.
