Our hospice apartments are more than just rooms. They are a temporary home – for families who are experiencing anything but everyday life. Here, children can be held, parents can breathe a sigh of relief, and siblings can simply be children again.
Our farewell rooms are a special place: for closeness, for support, for moments that remain even after someone has passed. These rooms give families time that is more precious than anything else. Time to laugh, to love, to let go. Time that no one can give back – but which becomes a little easier here ✨ We are grateful to be able to offer this safe space for the most difficult and precious moments ❤️ #lichtblickhof #childrenshospice #becausethereisalwayssomethingpossible #equinetherapy #rayofhope #equinetherapy #childrenshospicevienna #childrenshospicecare #childrenshospicevienna Video: @sussmediamarketing
Sometimes healing needs no words. Just an animal that's there. Gentle. Still. And a child who feels: I am held ❤️🩹#lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #equotherapy #rayof hope #horsetherapy #children'shospicevienna #children'shospicecompanionship #therapyhorses #therapywithanimals

Animal-assisted hospice care means so much more than "an animal comes to visit." It's about moments where closeness arises, where words fail. Moments where a horse or a dog sets something in motion that we as humans often can't reach. Thank you for your interest in our work and for walking this path with us 💫🌈 Photos: @momente.punkt #animalassistedhospicecare #hospicecare #animalassisted #equinetherapy #heartfeltmoments #gentleandstrong #becauseclosenessfeelsgood #childrenshospice #healingencounters
They don't just carry things on their backs—they carry hearts. Horses possess a skill few other animals can match: they unite body and soul, offer healing impulses, and remind us what true connection means ❤️ Gentleness lies in their size, peace in their strength. They mirror us without judgment. They teach us to be in the moment—fully present, completely real ✨ In this video, our founder Roswitha Zink explains why horses are the pinnacle of therapy animals. And why every encounter with them heals something within us that words often can't reach. 🕊️ #lichtblickhof #childrenshospice #becausethereisalwayssomethingpossible #equinetherapy #rayofhope #equinetherapy #childrenshospicevienna #childrenshospicecare #therapywithanimals #healingencounters #mindfulness #compassion #comforter #hospicecare #becauseclosenessisgoodforyou #animalassistedpedagogy #gentleandstrong
Sometimes, grand gestures aren't needed. No comfort, no explanations. Just a warm coat to lean against. A calm breath. A presence without expectations. Our animals accompany children and families in moments for which there are no words – with closeness, gentleness, and an open heart. 🕊️🌈✨ #animalassistedtherapy #childrenshospice #animalassisted #mindfulness #horselove #carryinghope #healingwithoutwordslichtblickhof #becausethereisalwayssomethinggoingon #equinetherapy #horsetherapy #childrenshospicevienna
Hello, my name is Sirius Solargeisli – my name means sunbeam. Perhaps because I'm meant to bring light to where it's become dark. I'm six years old, curious and brave, with a heart of gold. Everything new is an adventure for me – and every little "I can do it!" helps me grow. I'm currently learning at Lichtblickhofto be a therapy horse. And if one day I... LichtblickhofWhen I work with children, I hope they feel in me: Sunshine can be shared. 🌞🌈💛 Photo: @salted_pictures #TherapyHorse #AnimalAssistedTherapy #ChildrensHospice #NewTeamMember #Sunbeam #HorseLove #CourageousAndGentle #AnimalsDoGood #HeartHorse #StrongerTogether #AnimalsHelpHeal #JoyOfLife #SiriusSolargeisli
Sometimes the miracles along the way are so quiet that you only feel them when you become completely still: A smile. A moment without fear. A look filled with trust. All of these are small miracles that happen in our work – every day, thanks to you. 💛 Videos: @francis.foto.film #WunderAmWeg #lichtblickhof #children'shospice #becausealwayssomethinghappens #rayof hope #horsetherapy #therapyhorses #therapywithanimals
