With dogs and sport: coping with grief in the Pinneberg district!
In the Pinneberg district, an innovative support offer focuses on people who have lost a close relative. Trainer Rita Nickel and grief counselor Silke Gundlach know how important it is to actively shape the grief process. Their goal is to help those who are grieving on their path to healing through exercise and their four-legged companion Willy. This initiative offers a welcome change and the opportunity to deal with grief in a positive way, as shz.de reports.
The main idea: exercise together with Willy the dog not only brings a breath of fresh air into everyday life, but also promotes physical and emotional health. Movement can help to heal the emotional wounds and bring the grieving person out of their isolation to some extent. The offer aims to give those grieving a space to express and process their feelings while experiencing the support of the group and the comfort of the loyal dog.
The importance of grief counseling
Grief is often a complicated and painful process. Without appropriate support, unprocessed grief can lead to health problems or continue to surface. Accompaniment can significantly support the healing process and help mourners find personal growth and inner strength again. As trauer-um-mein-tier.de makes clear, dealing with pain also leads to change and wisdom. It is a journey through which the return of joy and enjoyment can be achieved in life after grief.
As part of the program, participants learn how to better recognize and classify their emotional state - an important step in reducing fear of the future. Maintaining the emotional connection to the deceased relatives or animals is essential in order to think about the shared memories with peace.
A majority of people who take part in this initiative report enormous relief and the feeling of not being alone. The support of like-minded people, coupled with the positive energy of a dog, makes the challenge of overcoming grief more tangible and bearable.
In summary, it can be said that with this offer the Pinneberg district has a good knack for accompanying people in difficult times. The combination of exercise and animal support creates a space in which healing can begin. So grief becomes a part of life that is not only painful, but also opens up new paths.
