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.

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

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 better. But because it can still be beautiful. Because hope sometimes has hooves. 🐴💛 #HeartStory #WhenLifeHurts #SilentSupport #ChildhoodWithScars #GriefSupport #HopeCarriesHooves #lichtblickhof #becausealwayssomethinghappens #children'shospice #rayof hope #equotherapy #horsetherapy

“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."
