“They sat there for a long time and had a hard time.
But they had it difficult together and that was a consolation.
It still wasn´t easy.«
From: Ronja Räubertochter, Astrid Lindgren
DISCUSSION EVENINGS
FOR AFFECTED PEOPLE, RELATIVES, FRIENDS
ONCE A MONTH ON WEDNESDAYS AT 7:30 PM
Für manche Mütter und Väter, die ein Kind vor, während oder kurz nach der Geburt verloren haben, ist eine Selbsthilfegruppe eine gute Möglichkeit, sich mit anderen auszutauschen und Einfühlungsvermögen zu finden, das die Umgebung oft nicht aufbringen kann. Wir stützen und unterstützen uns gegenseitig auf dem individuellen Trauerweg. Wir geben einander Raum zur Trauer und zur Erinnerung. In den Gesprächen werden Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede beim Trauerprozess entdeckt.
NETWORK DAY
with specialist lecture
28 NOV 2025 IN DUISBURG
Grief for a baby born with a star is complex. There are no government-sponsored care programs for parents and families if a baby dies during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Associations and institutions, medical and psychological professionals, grief counselors, pastors, undertakers, photographers of star children, volunteer seamstresses, and many more are trying to help and support those affected and their families in cases of small and stillbirths, as well as in cases of infant death. With this networking day, we want to raise awareness of the services we offer, encourage dialogue, and network. Registration is required. You can read more in the flyer, which is now available for download.
