There are good and difficult times in life. It's always nice to share your thoughts and worries. But there isn't always someone nearby, you don't always have the courage to confide in someone. It is all the more difficult to remain alone with your grief.

That's why the pastors at St. Marien are there to talk to - and there are anonymous counselling centres with people who will listen to you, encourage you and show you ways forward.

So don't hesitate to get help, free of charge and anonymously! Please note that these offers are primarily in german.
