Sadness is not a mistake, but a reaction to loss and love. It is the expression of a bond that continues, even if the human being, the animal or the form of life to which it was bound is no longer there. Sadness is movement, sometimes quiet, sometimes overwhelming, and she needs space to be able to walk.In the mourning accompaniment and mourning therapy I create this space. Everything must be there: pain, emptiness, anger, longing, but also relief or gratitude. I accompany you to meet your own kind of mourning, to understand it and to find new forms of relationship and meaning.Trauer is not a state to be overcome. She's a way where life reorganizes.
My priorities
I accompany people whose grief is often overlooked or not understood. I especially work with
- People who have experienced suicide – relatives, friends, first responders or emergency responders. This form of grief is often associated with shame, guilt and stigmatization and needs special sensitivity and protection.
- People after the loss of a partnership or marriage, even if no death, but separation marks the farewell.
- Widows or people who mourn a partner who move between the past and the new beginning.
- Siblings, whose grief is often in the shadows because they take on other roles in the family system.
- People after saying goodbye to a beloved animal – a relationship whose depth and meaning is rarely fully appreciated.
Of course, I also accompany every other form of grief, whether fresh, recurring or old. Every story and grief counts.
How grief accompaniment works
Grief work means keeping connected while life changes. Through conversation, mindfulness, body perception and creative processes, what carries heavily becomes visible and allowed to transform. Grief loses its acuity when it finds expression. From standstill can become movement, from pain compassion and from emptiness quiet gratitude.
When mourning can be helpful
• after the loss of a loved one or animal
• During difficult or unprepared farewells
• for multiple or old losses that are not processed
• changes due to illness, separation or lifestyle
• to accompany in times of new beginning and inner reorientation
