Last trip to the Baltic Sea: An emotional farewell full of memories
A last wish fulfilled on the Baltic Sea: With the wish car, seriously ill people and their families fulfilled their dream of an unforgettable view of the sea. One of these moving moments happened recently when a woman drove to the coast of Hohwacht to say goodbye to the Baltic Sea one last time. This trip is not just an excursion, but an emotional farewell to a beloved place and the memories associated with it. Moin.de reports that she leaves the hospice and the cold wind caresses her when she arrives in Hohwacht.
With her daughter at her side, she heads to the pier to breathe in the fresh, salty sea air and watch the waves. Every step is a challenge; Nevertheless, she wants to experience this last wish to the fullest. The moment in front of the hotel, where she once spent many happy hours with her husband, is marked by deep feelings. The memories of better days blow like the waves of the sea. The West complements that such trips are made possible by the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) and that the wish cars are a valuable offer for terminally ill people.
Emotional farewells and precious memories
Ms. Prinz also had a similar experience when she wanted to take one last look at the sea. Her path took her to the Baltic Sea resort of Wustrow, where she saw the sun despite the cold weather and sleet. She fortifies herself with her family in a restaurant before the wheelchair takes her straight to the beach. Despite all the circumstances, this place has a special meaning for Ms. Prinz. The farewell to the sea then becomes a moving moment when she says goodbye to the waves with the words “Goodbye Baltic Sea, farewell…”. Her family cannot hold back their tears and hugs her in this silent sadness that is also marked by joy. Spiegel.de refers on the special role that photographer Lisa Hambsch plays on these trips by capturing the precious moments for the families.
With their wishes fulfilled, these women who have been through so much return home full of happiness. The memories remain, unforgettable like the waves that keep rolling onto the beach. A small plush teddy bear named “Wünschi” accompanies the woman from Hohwacht on her way to the hospice and reminds her of this unique day. Such initiatives show that there are bright spots even in difficult times. It's the little things that make a big difference.
