Group for mothers and fathers who have lost a child

Nothing compares to the pain caused by the death of a child. Our world collapses, our values and our relationships with family and friends are shaken. Nothing is as it used to be. Grief distances us from our surroundings, which often even show us a lack of understanding or helplessness.

Without any grounding – with the feeling that nothing will be all right again – the search for a way to live with the loss begins.

It often helps to talk about the incomprehensible.

In the group with other affected people, you will find a protective space in which you can share your feelings, such as anger, powerlessness and hurt. It doesn’t matter how long ago the child died.

Here you can allow your grief and sorrow to be felt. Here you can remember your child, the loss, but also the happy moments with him or her.

The group is aimed at mothers and fathers who have lost their child during pregnancy after the 15th week of pregnancy, during or in the first few months after the birth.

The bereavement group is accompanied and moderated by Luisa Schall. Luisa lost her first child in the ninth month of pregnancy in 2021 and attended the “Familienzelt” bereavement group herself. As a psychological counselor, she accompanies orphaned parents, couples with an unfulfilled desire to have children and parents of angel babies in the follow-up pregnancy.
