[Report] Changing my creator name and the reason I call myself the "Death Cafe Manager"

Hello, this is yoru.

Thank you so much for always reading my articles.

Today, I have a small announcement for all my valued readers.

I have changed my note creator name as follows.

New creator name: yoru | Death Cafe Manager

The name itself, "yoru", remains the same, but I have added the new title "Death Cafe Manager".

I would like to take this opportunity to explain why I chose this title and what kind of content I will be sharing on this note from now on.

Why a "Death Cafe Manager"?

The reason I call myself "Death Cafe Manager" is to **change the image of "death" and provide tips for everyone to live "now" to the fullest.**

• A "Death Cafe" is a place where people can talk about "death" casually yet deeply while having tea. It started in Europe and has now spread all over the world.

When people hear the word "death," many feel it is something dark and ominous.

This is because in Japan, we are unconsciously ingrained with the idea that

.

However, being conscious of death is the same as **being conscious of the last page of the "book of life" and thinking seriously about how to read the current page.**

It is precisely because we know the end that

comes to the surface.

I myself have a past where I struggled with wanting to die and felt lonely.

At that time, I was surprised by how many people were struggling in the same way and how few places there were to talk about it.

That is why I wanted to create a place like a "Death Cafe" where anyone can drop by.

Let's share our worries and spend time here that makes our hearts feel a little lighter.

What I will be sharing on this note from now on

As "yoru | Death Cafe Manager," I plan to continue sharing articles focusing on themes such as the following:

• Random thoughts on views of life and death and ways of living

• Tips for end-of-life planning and grief care (caring for the heart after losing a loved one)

• Words to help you settle your heart in the midst of daily life

I will continue to write essays and share daily insights as always, through "yoru's perspective."

To those who have been following me until now, please rest assured.

Finally

At night (yoru), listening to a slightly deep life story with a warm drink in hand.

I would be happy if I could create such a quiet and comfortable space here on this note.

I look forward to your continued support for the new "yoru | Death Cafe Manager." Please feel free to let me hear your voice through comments or by clicking "Like."
