Short text

Since May 2003, the Sternenbrücke children's hospice has been helping terminally ill children, adolescents and young adults up to the age of 27 to live with dignity until their death. The young people with illnesses and their families are carefully supported not only in the final stages of life, but also throughout the often many years of illness as part of respite care. Targeted services stabilise the family system and help family members to draw strength and find respite. Even after the loss, Sternenbrücke continues to support families in their grief.

We cannot add days to life, but we can add life to days.
