Today is Dying to Know Day! An important aspect of life that often goes unspoken is planning for the end of it. Dying to Know Day encourages open discussions about death, dying, and grief. It’s an opportunity to reflect on critical end-of-life issues, from estate planning to healthcare directives. Now is the time to review our preferences with loved ones and take steps to be prepared for the unexpected. As professionals and individuals, it's vital to address these topics with clarity and empathy. Let's use this day to foster open dialogue and provide the necessary information and support for those who need it. Embracing these discussions can lead to peace of mind for everyone involved. #DyingToKnowDay #EndOfLifePlanning #Wills #EstatePlanning

📢 Useful Cost of Living Resources 📢 With the current cost of living crisis impacting everyone's lives, we know that individuals and families affected by rare diseases are often disproportionately impacted by increasing essential daily living costs. Rett UK has been part of a project by Same but Different cic to create a list of resources to help families and individuals in the cost of living crisis. Our Family Support Manager Julie explains "we have girls that are on ventilators, PEG fed, and/or on oxygen. Overnight epilepsy monitoring is also needed and all of this cranks up your electric bill...these are families that were struggling before the cost of living crisis". We hope that this resource can help families to get the help they deserve and know who to contact to discuss options.

Today we raise awareness about the disastrous and long-term effects of drowning on both families and society while also informing us about life-saving ways to prevent it. Drowning is a serious and neglected public health threat claiming the lives of 372 000 people a year worldwide. It is usually more common among children who are aged five to 14. It is urgent to teach our kids how to swim, tell them about water safety, and make sure we all know more about rescue and resuscitation methods.
