Hospice group Suhl: new support for the dying and their relatives!
In a moving moment the... Hospice group Suhl and the surrounding area presented today in the Social Committee. This was the group's first appearance on the board in almost a decade, and the shake-up of the composition is a breath of fresh air. The hospice group offers valuable support for terminally ill, dying people and their relatives, although new counseling services have only been available for a few months.
For many people, the challenge of the end of life not only brings with it personal concern, but also the need to have professional support at their side. The AWO Hospice Group Suhl has been training volunteer death and grief companions since 2021 to meet these needs. Those interested can look forward to a new course that starts on April 6, 2021, after having the opportunity to have introductory discussions with the full-time coordinators Ines Ansorg and Britta Schlütter.
Training for sensitive support
Through the training, participants should develop a deep understanding of the topics of dying, death and grief. Those responsible attach great importance to skills such as listening and empathic action. The requirements for those interested are clear: they should have good empathy and be prepared to deal with their own mortality. The training includes a basic course, an internship and an advanced course, so that the prospective companions are optimally prepared for their responsible tasks.
“In end-of-life support, it is important to create space for individual needs and to provide comfort,” explains a coordinator. This type of support is not only aimed at the dying, but is also indispensable for the relatives, who often need advice and relief. Hospice services We also offer supervision to support the volunteers during their deployment.
