Support Group Helps Couples Navigate Grief After Losing a Child

A support group for mothers who have lost a child is holding its next meeting on Thursday, June 11. The session, titled Partnership After Loss, will explore how couples cope with grief in different ways. Registration is required for those wishing to attend. The group, Traces in the Heart – Living with a Star Child, meets every second Thursday of the month at 6:00 PM. This gathering will focus on how partners support each other while living with loss.

Dipl.-Psych. Ina Fornefeld, a counsellor from the Lünen Marriage, Family, and Life Counseling Center, will lead the discussion. The meeting takes place at the Lünen Health Center, Roggenmarkt 18–20. Attendees should use the side entrance to reach the group room on the top floor. Organisers have asked participants to sign up in advance to secure their place.

The session aims to provide a space for star mothers—those who have experienced the loss of a child—to share their experiences. The group continues to offer regular support for those navigating grief within their relationships. Further details can be obtained by contacting the Lünen Health Center.
