There are days when our strength isn't enough—but closeness always finds a way for us. And sometimes there's more happiness in such a moment than in many an entire day.

Some encounters don't require words. Animals see children as they are—without fear, without pity, simply there. We accompany many of these quiet, precious moments. Moments you won't forget. 💫 #lichtblickhof #becausealwayssomethinghappens #children'shospice #equotherapy #rayof hope #horsetherapy #children'shospicevienna #children'shospicecompanionship #therapyhorses #therapywithanimals

For us, happiness is... when a child's laughter dances between horse's hooves and dog's paws. When closeness becomes tangible without words. When little hands gain trust. When time stands still—for a moment full of life. In the midst of pain, joy can grow. Quiet. Gentle. Real. 🌈 #lichtblickhof #becausealwayssomethinghappens #children'shospice #rayof hope #horsetherapy #animal-assistedtherapy #children'shospicework #momentsofhappiness #animalspecial #mindfulnessineverydaylife #smallmiraclesgreatlove

Today is Austrian Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Day. A day for those who rarely speak out – but carry so much. Palliative care for children doesn't mean the end – but loving support until the very end. It gives little ones with an incurable diagnosis quality of life. And their families: support. Support. Relief. Siblings, in particular, are often pushed into the background. Yet they, in particular, need spaces where they can be children again. Animal-assisted therapy creates such spaces. Horses not only carry children, but also feelings. They create closeness without words 🫧🌈 #children'shospice #palliativecare #siblings #animalassistedtherapy #therapyhorse #liveuntiltheend #dignity #children'shospiceday #mindfulness #donationappeal #compassionconnects #lichtblickhof #because anything is possible

When fate strikes twice ✨ Two wounds that no one can heal. And yet: Here on Kurumi's back, something inside Mark becomes quiet again. Not a sound, not a word of comfort – but closeness. Trust. And shared laughter. Not because everything is okay again. But because it can still be beautiful. Because hope sometimes has hooves. 🐴💛 #HeartStory #WhenLifeHurts #SilentSupport #ChildhoodWithScars #GriefSupport #HopeCarriesHooves

“When children Lichtblickhof When parents die, they feel as if nothing will ever be the same again! It is the absolute sadness in this moment - also for the therapists who put a lot of time and love into the support. But nature shows us signs of hope and the animals demand to be cared for by us EVERY DAY! They help us to move on: step - breath - stroke. As Peppo the street sweeper taught Momo in Michael Ende's book."
