In the latest episode of our podcast Hors d’Œuvre, we speak with Simone Thill, founder of the organization Trauerwee, which supports children and their families after the loss of a loved one.

Grief is a delicate topic, especially for children, who often lack the words or safe space to express what they feel. Simone Thill explains why it is essential to talk openly about grief with children, to reassure them, and to show them that they are not alone with their emotions.

Drawing from her experience, she discusses:

  • how children experience and express grief,
  • why supportive guidance is so important during this process,
  • the tools and activities Trauerwee uses to help children open up and process their feelings,
  • the role of families and close relatives in supporting a grieving child.

A sensitive and insightful conversation that highlights how meaningful compassionate support can be during such a difficult time.
