Coping with grief - bereavement circle

Our bereavement circle

Have you recently lost a loved one and perhaps feel lonely in your grief?
Grief is a natural part of life, but there are many ways to deal with it. The important thing is to give yourself time and get help when you need it.

Feel free to come to our Bereavement Circle of Hope - a safe space where you can connect with others who have had similar experiences.
Our experienced grief counselors will sensitively help you to cope with your grief.

Dates

Our bereavement circle takes place once a quarter at our funeral home in Jena.
We meet on the following Saturdays from 2 - 4 pm:

  • 28. June 2025
  • 13. September 2025
  • 29. November 2025


What you can expect:

  • shared exchange - because it is helpful to talk to other people about the loss, to confide in someone who can offer understanding and support
  • other topics that move and interest us - for example, creative activities and music help us to gather new thoughts
  • a relaxed atmosphere with coffee and tea

Take time for yourself and find comfort in the community. We are here for you.
Visit our bereavement circle and allow yourself to find hope again.

Bereavement counselors Claudia Kupke, Constanze Fittkau and Dirk Wildenhayn

Shape

In addition to the fixed dates

we give the opportunity to do something we enjoy, such as going for walks together, meeting up in the countryside and going on short cultural visits. This can also help us to look to the future.
Do you have a wish or an idea? Then simply get in touch with us.
