For farewells
For farewells
Farewells call for three things: steadiness, empathy and the right words.
When someone dies, many things often need attention at once. There are practical things to organise and decisions to make, while grief also needs its place. I support people during this time and write and deliver personal funeral speeches. I also offer farewell speeches and laudations for other significant goodbyes. The offers can be used separately or combined.
Three paths
Grief support
Support after a loss, for individual conversations or over a longer period. Together, we look at what’s occupying you and what you need during this time.
Funeral speech
I write and deliver a personal funeral speech that centres the person who died and the life they actually lived. In English, German or bilingually.
Farewell speeches & laudations
Personal speeches for farewells, memorial events, retirement or other occasions where a person and their contribution are to be honoured.
When relationships or family roles are part of the picture
After a loss, relationships, family roles or things that remained unresolved during a person’s lifetime can come more strongly to the foreground. If you’d like to look at such a concern from another perspective, systemic constellation work can be one option.
How to contact me
Grief support
For grief support, we can first get to know each other in a free initial consultation (30 minutes) and talk about what you need right now.
Funeral speech
If a funeral is approaching, it’s best to contact me directly. Funeral appointments take priority in my calendar, and a speech can often be prepared within a few days.
Farewell speeches & laudations
For farewell speeches and laudations, send me a message and briefly tell me about the occasion.
