Wenn ein Kind stirbt

Zusammenfassung

Auswirkungen über den Tod hinaus Der Verlust eines Kindes ist das traumatischste Erlebnis für eine Familie, unabhängig von Religion, Ethnie oder Sozialstatus. In Deutschland sterben jedes Jahr fast 3.500 Kinder aufgrund einer lebensverkürzenden Krankheit.1 Betroffen davon sind fast doppelt so viele Menschen – dazu gehören neben der Familie und Angehörigen auch Pflegekräfte.
