Wenn das Ende näher rückt

In the organizer's words:

🕯 An evening about dying, life - and what really matters

"One day we're all going to die, Snoopy!"

"Yes, that's true, Charly Brown. But not on any other day."

Ruth Galler is a systemic consultant and care expert.

As a consultant for health care planning in the last phase of life, she talks to senior citizens living in a senior center about their ideas about the end of their lives. These conversations are literally about life and death. Openness, interest and often a pinch of loving humor characterize the exchange about this precious phase of life.

Perhaps you have become curious about exciting questions about the end of life and how you can perhaps prepare for it.

What do old people say when they think about what is important to them at the end of life? What about self-determination when someone suffers from dementia? Can we possibly learn from these people who have already gone a few steps further on their journey through life in healthy and young days?

On this evening, Ruth Galler takes us into real conversations from the senior center: surprising thoughts, deep sentences, honest questions.
It's about self-determination, dementia, last wishes - but also about the joy of life, courage and the strength to reconcile.

📣 After the talk, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas.

💬 Perhaps you will leave the room with a different perspective - and a few questions for your future self.
