Free vacation for grieving families in the GDR residential car on the lake!

If you spent the first days of July in Neustadt-Glewe, you could experience something special: a project, the families that have lost a loved one offers the opportunity to take a break from the feeling of grief. Dennis Schneider recently decided to provide his QEK Junior GDR residential cars at Barracuda Beach for affected families. Especially in these difficult times, it is important to find a place where you can simply take a deep breath and are not constantly reminded of everyday life.

Last weekend, four of these special caravans found their travelers. The Barracuda Beach team not only offers free parking spaces, but also a fantastic location with a view of the lake and near a playground. Schneider, who has not had any points of contact with a hospice, just wanted to do something good and developed the idea of ​​giving families to this peaceful place for a carefree time.

together in difficult times

The premiere of the project "Qek for a good cause" was a complete success. Among the participants was Sarah from Schwerin, who wanted to find a short vacation with her daughter Mayla after the death of Maylas Papa in November. Jörn and his son Lukas from Rastow had also decided to become part of this special experience after contacting the Schwerin children's hospice service. It can be seen touching how quickly these families find each other and spend a good first night together in the caravan.

But this project is only a small part of the great support that is available for grieving children and young people. The Malteser Hilfsdienst has launched the project "Young people in the death and mourning accompaniment". Here, the focus is on young people under 30, who are to be enthusiastic about voluntary hospice work. In a comprehensive book, the experiences of these young volunteers are compiled and addressed how death and death are treated in our society.

mourning for children

Another remarkable project is lacrima . Here children and adolescents who have lost a parent or siblings are offered a protected space to share their grief. Tears are often part of grief, but children often express their feelings differently - by playing, painting and moving. Lacrima enables the little ones to express their feelings and learn that they are not alone.

The regular group lessons promote the psychological stabilization of the children, and the offers are free of charge for those affected by donations. So they offer important measures to help children and adolescents accept their grief and deal with them.

In view of these initiatives such as Schneider’s caravan project and the work of the Maltese and Johanniter, it becomes clear how important it is to support families and especially children in traumatic times. The support in such difficult moments is not only a sign of humanity, but also essential help for a hopeful future.
