Women's breakfast in Vogelsberg: tackle life questions brave!

Lauterbach, Deutschland - What's in Lauterbach? Big is happening here! On June 28, 2025, a women's breakfast of the hospice service in Vogelsberg will take place in the Evangelical Community House in Lauterbach-Maar. Under the motto "Talking about dying has not yet been killed", the author Traudi Schlitt will keep a reading that deals with the topics of life, death and grief. This event aims to bring an often tabooed topic to the public and to promote an open dialogue about it. Admission is from 9:00 a.m., the event starts at 9:30 a.m. and is expected to end around 12:00 p.m. Entry is 15 euros and tickets are available in various ticket agencies, including the bookshop worth reading in Alsfeld and the bookstore bookstore in Lauterbach. osthessen-news.de reports that this event offers a wonderful opportunity to experience more about dealing with dying and grief and to experience an exchange in a sociable round.

But that's not all! The hospice service in Vogelsberg has expanded its offer this year with a regular funeral café, which has been taking place every first Saturday of the month from 2 to 4 p.m. in Lauterbach since April. Here, trained mourning companions support to accompany the mourning process and create a community that gives grieving hold. Astrid Schmier, one of the volunteer mourning companions, emphasizes that grief is an important way of healing. She and her colleague Sabine Baumgartner underline the importance of solidarity in mourning. Oberhessen-live.de reports that participation in these meetings is free of charge and that the funeral café is valuable for those who are faced with losses.

last aid courses for more understanding

In addition, the hospice service offers courses on “last aid” to convey relatives of how they can support the dying. These courses, which are also free, last about four hours and are intended to encourage people to adapt to the needs of dying and to promote dignified handling. Here, too, the registration is necessary and the number of participants is limited. Such an offer not only makes an important contribution to improving the handling of life and dying, but also provides security in dealing with these topics.

Hospice work aims to facilitate painful situations and create a familiar space in which people can live with dignity until their last breath. maleser.de explains that the hospice work is not only open to adults, but also for children and adolescents. This underlines the importance that both emotional and social aspects are taken into account in the support of mourners. The community and support that these services offer are invaluable and help many people who fight with losses.
