Where I live, removeable items like braces, jewellery, et cetera are considered ‘personal effects’ and will be handed over to next of kin when they claim the body for funeral arrangements. Integral things like fillings, artificial joints, etc. are generally left inside. There are cases where they have to be removed or will be left behind (eg. cremation), but they’re still considered human remains and have to be disposed of properly.
There are also cases where things can’t be cremated or left in the body. I’m thinking specifically about pacemakers powered by radioactive isotopes. Medical authorities will take charge of those.

I third Linux Mint. Everything you need is in the same place as you’d find it on Windows. Everything simply works out of the box. It’s a very smooth transition. If you dual-boot you don’t even need to get rid of Windows before you’re comfortable. (I keep Windows available for games.)
I am at an accepting stage that not everything that happens in your life is in your control. When things goes really bad and you dont have much control on it, I would assume a person who believes in god or religious figures has their belief system as a coping mechanism. For example praying to the god and so on....
