Anger, helplessness and fear? The small and large strokes of fate in life often call them into action and keep you captive. Our children and young people know this all too well. They fight against their feeling monsters. conquer these feelings? That will not do. But when you learn to love them, you realize that they also mean a lot to you...
Our bright spot ambassador Gery Seidl invited us to his cabaret. We were very happy and of course we accepted the invitation. Thank you for the relaxing, fun and enriching evening!

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.

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.

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
