Children's hospice: How do you accompany a child when a parent dies?

The grieving family of Leo is supported by the outpatient children's hospice service from Stuttgart since his father Jannik died of a brain tumor last October. Jannik was only 33 years old and his sudden death left a deep gap in the family. Leo, a four -year -old, is now devoting himself to his own version of medical care and treats soft toys during the consultation of Dr. Leo.

Julia Parussis-Krech, who accompanies Leo in the consultation, plays patiently and helps him with his imagination. Leo takes his role very seriously and lovingly takes care of his "patients". Despite his father's severe loss, Leo seems to have found his own method of dealing with his grief. The support of the outpatient children's hospice services is invaluable for the family because they learn to deal with loss and grief.

For Leo, his late father becomes a sun that continues to warm him and his family with love and memories. The children's hospice work makes an important contribution to offer children like Leo comfort and support in difficult times. Through sensitive accompaniment and support, children can learn to deal with the loss of a loved one and find their own way of saying goodbye.
