Patrick Schlecht, hospice director in Böblingen, advocates for an open conversation about dying and death in our society.
Patrick Schlecht: Dying should become part of our society!
Patrick Schlecht, the 33-year-old head of the hospice in Böblingen, is committed to providing dignified support for the seriously ill. With his many years of experience as an oncology nurse, he not only has an understanding of the challenges that terminally ill patients face, but also a profound insight into the emotional aspects of dying. Schlecht previously worked at the hospice in Leonberg, where he was able to gain valuable experience as part of his further training.
His goal is to bring the topic of dying and death into the center of society. “We need to talk more openly about these topics,” emphasizes Schlecht, who is firmly convinced that the exchange about dying can also be beneficial for society.
The path to social acceptance
The Ecumenical Hospice Service, whose philosophy is closely linked to Schlecht's efforts, actively deals with topics such as “farewell”, “dying”, “death” and “mourning”. Their goal is to accept these often taboo topics both socially and personally as integral parts of life. Members of the hospice service recognize the state of emergency created by serious illness and the impending end of life.
During this difficult time, both the people affected and their relatives are physically, mentally and mentally challenged. The hospice service accompanies seriously ill, dying people and their relatives in the emotional phase of saying goodbye and mourning. This offer is aimed not only at adults, but also at children and young people and their families.
“It’s important that we don’t have to go through this process alone,” explains Schlecht. The support that the Ecumenical Hospice Service offers is crucial for many sufferers who have to bear the burden of the illness. Further information about the hospice service's offers and help is available on the official website www.hospizdienst-bb.de.
Patrick Schlecht and the Ecumenical Hospice Service are working together to increase awareness and acceptance of dying and death in our society. Through these efforts, they help to bring people's attention to issues that too often remain hidden and thus enable them to deal with them with dignity.
