| Eva Terhorst | | Life Will Be Brighter Again | | The special journal for times of grief |
For many people in mourning, nothing is the same after the loss of a loved one. Daily routines are completely different, but at the same time, life just marches on. In this phase it is often incredibly difficult to cope with ordinary tasks of life. |

| Anemone Zeim / Madita van Hülsen | | Never Forget | | Structuring Grief with Memories |
No one can truly understand grief before they have experienced it personally. And then suddenly you are immersed in a situation in which everything you could previously rely on fails you. What remains are the memories. Consciously turning to your own treasure trove of memories, sorting through them and creatively engaging with them, helps us find a personalized and healing path through grief. |

| Monika Specht-Tomann | | Supporting Grieving Children | | What Parents Can do |
Some children withdraw and refuse to talk when they are mourning. Others can hardly be soothed and cry continuously. It is also not unusual for grieving children to be aggressive. And many of them ask the most astonishing questions. But they are often not recognized, because their parents and caretakers are also out of their comfort zone. |

| Gabriel Looser | | Which Life After Death? | | Reincarnation and Christian Faith |
Many people share the hope that life continues after death “somehow”, but there are widely varying ideas about the “how”. The idea of a rebirth is increasingly widespread even among people of the Christian faith. But are these ideas even compatible, or do they contain contradictions that can’t be resolved? |
