[DeepL:] Children deal with the loss of a loved one differently than adults. Often they express their grief less with words and more in creative and playful ways. We want to encourage children that their feelings are important and unique. In order for them to be able to live out their grief, we offer them a protected space where they can be as they want and need to be: sad, serious, happy, thoughtful or angry. The children meet peers who have experienced similar things and to whom they do not have to explain how they feel. Together they can remember those who have died and find support together. With our opening and closing rituals, the children have the opportunity to express their grief in different ways: We make crafts, music, play theater or frolic, and sometimes we simply shout out the grief. Children grieve colorfully.
Our work is not therapy, but accompaniment. This is done by experienced psychosocial professionals who build a trusting relationship with the children. We offer families comprehensive help for their grieving process.
At the same time as the meetings of the children's bereavement group, we offer a group for relatives and caregivers of the children. There, they can exchange ideas and receive ideas on how to implement topics from the group sessions in everyday life with the children.
