Invitation to the Quiet Strength of Hospice Work

At the Karl Josef Hospice in Freiburg, a space opens for dignity, mindfulness, and human closeness. The event focuses on the accompaniment of seriously ill people and makes visible how hospice work, palliative care, and spiritual accompaniment interact in the final phase of life.

Hospice Work as an Experience of Faith in Closeness

The house sees itself as a refuge for people at the end of life. In a friendly, familial atmosphere, professional care is combined with pastoral sensitivity and a respectful view of the whole person. The Christian foundation of the hospice emphasizes security, safety, and the preservation of personal dignity.

Insights into Accompaniment, Care, and Spirituality

The stationary hospice, the daily accompaniment of guests, and integration into the palliative network in Freiburg will be presented. The evening will show how medical care, psychosocial support, and spiritual accompaniment are interconnected. It is precisely this connection that shapes the special atmosphere of hospice work and provides orientation and relief for family members.

Leadership with Experience and Spiritual Responsibility

The presentation is led by Sister Miriana Fuchs, head of the Karl Josef Hospice, nurse, and Franciscan of Sießen. This combines professional competence with a clear Christian influence that focuses on life until the end and understands accompaniment as a service to others.

The event is free of charge, barrier-free, and designed for a limited number of participants. Registration is required. The venue is located at the Karl Josef Hospice at Türkenlouisstraße 22 in Freiburg. Access is via the Sternwald room, entrance through the garden at the back of the house.
