About Ambulantes Hospiz "Die Brücke"

The "Hospice • Die Brücke" (The Bridge) was named in 2009 by the "Evangelical Hospice Initiative", which was founded in 2002 at the Evangelical Hospital Bergisch Gladbach. We want to build relationships like a bridge: - to die people in order not to leave them and their families alone, - to the subject of finiteness and death, which concerns us all, but which we often displace, - between volunteers who want to help and those who need their help - between socially committed, church communities and institutions or persons in the health care sector, who treat and care for dying people. We allow our actions to be guided by Christian charity and corresponding values, but are there for all seriously …

Das „Hospiz • Die Brücke“ - diesen Namen gab sich 2009 die „Evangelische Hospizinitiative“, die 2002 am Evangelischen Krankenhaus Bergisch Gladbach gegründet wurde. Wie eine Brücke verbindet, möchten wir Beziehungen bauen:<br><br>- zu sterbenden Menschen, um sie und ihre Angehörigen nicht allein zu lassen,<br>- zum Thema Endlichkeit und Tod, das uns alle betrifft, das wir aber oft verdrängen,<br>- zwischen Ehrenamtlichen, die helfen möchten, und denen, die ihre Hilfe brauchen,<br>- zwischen gesellschaftspolitisch Engagierten, Kirchengemeinden und Institutionen bzw. Personen im Gesundheitswesen, die Sterbende behandeln und betreuen, beraten und begleiten.<br><br>Wir lassen unser Handeln leiten von der christlichen Nächstenliebe und entsprechenden Wertvorstellungen, sind aber für alle schwerkranken und sterbenden Menschen in der Region da, unabhängig von deren Religionszugehörigkeit oder sonstigen Voraussetzungen.
