Paying tribute to celebrities we have lost in 2024
Published 28/03/2024
Here at Funeral Notices, we are privileged to provide a platform for people to express their grief and condolences to famous people who have died. It's a strange feeling when a celebrity passes, we often feel the impact of their loss as if we knew them. Sometimes it's the nostalgia of someone we grew up watching, or they're the same age as us or are from our home town. The feeling of grief is real and can be seen in the thousands of tributes added to the funeral notices of celebrities. Here we take a look at some of those we have lost in 2024 so far.

What you can do to protect your home from being taken for care home fees
Published 27/03/2024
Estate planning firm ILAWS shares some available options to help protect your financial assets in the future As we get older, we begin to realise that we can’t do things as easily and independently as we once did, and have to rely more on others for help. And with time, you may also find that you need round-the-clock care - the kind you can only properly receive in a care home surrounded by dedicated staff. Even more so as debilitating conditions like Parkinson’s become increasingly prevalent, with 153,000 people already living with Parkinson's in the UK. However, if you do find yourself moving to a care home in later life, there’s an important question as to how to protect your financial assets from being lost to cover any fees. If you have capital assets worth £29,750 or more, you are required to meet your own care costs in full, which currently average over £50,000 per year. This means that if you go into care, and your pension and savings do not sufficiently cover the cost of fees, the local authority could take your home. In England, there are plans now in place to cap the amount taken from an individual at £86,000, but there is currently no such cap in Scotland. And whilst it is illegal to deliberately stop the local authority from taking money to pay for care home fees, there are legitimate options available to help protect yourself and your assets, including setting up a trust.

Sunshine and Sandwiches: Embracing the Joy of Outdoor Dining
Published 25/03/2024
As I start to type this article, on the first day of spring 2024, I realise that I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about the change of a season before. Winter feels like it has been a real slog this time around. I normally embrace the chance to start wearing jumpers and woolly hats, and having a cosy couple of months indoors spent in front of the TV or reading books wrapped up in a warm blanket. This year has been different though, and winter has felt like a trap; holding me hostage as I wait for the Sun to come and rescue me.

The Healing Power of Nature: Spring's Impact on Mental Health
Published 21/03/2024
As the frost of winter gives way to the gentle warmth of spring, nature undergoes a miraculous transformation, awakening a sense of renewal and vitality. Beyond its vibrant colours and fragrant blooms, spring holds a profound impact on our mental well-being. Here are some of the ways the spring season can improve our mental health: Renewal Spring is often seen as the season of renewal and rebirth; trees and flowers begin to bloom again after a winter lying dormant, the days grow longer and the weather warmer. Spring can therefore be seen to signify a time for change and new beginnings, renewal and hope. Sunshine Exposure to sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, helping you to feel calm and focused. Try to get out as much as you can to reap the benefits of the spring sunshine; just a walk around the block every day can make a big difference. Nature Spending time outdoors in nature can have a huge impact on our mental health. Head to nearby woodland or parks on walks, hikes, or to have a picnic in the sunshine. Gardening Gardening has numerous benefits to our mental well-being, from reducing stress and anxiety to fostering a sense of accomplishment. Spring is the perfect time to spruce up your garden, whether you’re starting from scratch or tidying up after the winter months. Seasonal Affective Disorder Though some people do experience SAD throughout the summer months, most people are affected throughout autumn and winter. Spring’s arrival can counteract the symptoms of SAD, providing a natural antidote to the winter blues. Whether through a leisurely walk in a blossoming garden or the simple act of basking in the warmth of the sun, spring offers a myriad of opportunities for rejuvenation and mental clarity. By recognising and harnessing the therapeutic benefits of this season, we can embark on a journey towards improved mental health and well-being. Thank you for reading.

Empowering Your Future: Understanding Lasting Power of Attorney in the UK
Published 18/03/2024
I recently finished a book series in which the mental capacity of one of the side characters slowly declined throughout. His story was truly heartbreaking, but in the end he was able to make his own choice about how he wanted to move forward, with the help of those closest to him. It made me think about the possibility of a future in which I myself am unable to make a fully informed decision, and how scary that could be. Then, as if by magic, an email landed in my inbox, talking about Lasting Power of Attorney.

Nurturing Minds: A Guide to Children’s Mental Health
Published 14/03/2024
In a world that is becoming increasingly fast paced, children’s mental health is more important than ever. The early years of a child’s life lay the foundation for their emotional well-being, shaping their ability to navigate challenges, build relationships, and thrive in various aspects of life. Here we will shed light on the critical aspects of children’s mental health, offering insights, tips, and resources for parents, caregivers and educators. Understanding Children’s Mental Health Like adults, children experience a wide range of emotions, and don’t always know how to deal with them. These can range from joy and excitement to frustration and sadness, and are a natural part of growing up. Parents and caregivers must realise that mental health encompasses a child’s overall emotional, psychological, and social well-being, not just mental health disorders. Early Signs and Red Flags It is important to identify any mental health concerns as soon as they arise. Look out for changes in behaviour, sleep patterns, appetite, and academic performance. Frequent complaints of physical ailments or sickness, irritability, or withdrawal from social activities could also indicate underlying issues. Creating a Supportive Environment Aim to foster a positive and nurturing environment at home and in school. Encourage open communication, active listening, and validation of a child’s feelings. Establishing a sense of security and trust is fundamental to a child’s mental well-being. Promoting Healthy Habits Our mental well-being is closely connected to our physical health; tending to our physical bodies can significantly enhance our mental state. Ensuring that children engage in regular physical activity, maintain a balanced diet, and get sufficient sleep can help immensely with their mental health.
