Last Aid in Regensburg: Knowledge, Orientation, and Human Proximity at the End of Life
When a person is seriously ill and the end of life approaches, many questions arise: What happens when dying? How can relatives support? What changes occur, and where can help be found? The event Last Aid – How Can Dying Succeed? offers space for information, exchange, and personal orientation on October 9, 2026, at the Thon-Dittmer-Palais.
Expert Knowledge from Medicine, Nursing, and Pastoral Care
From 3 PM to 6 PM, experienced speakers will provide insights into the care of severely ill individuals. The focus is on achieving the best possible quality of life in the remaining time. Palliative medicine, psycho-oncology, nursing, palliative care, and hospital pastoral care will be discussed, as well as the needs of relatives.
Among those attending are palliative physicians Dr. Nikolai Benkowitsch and Dr. Bernadette Holtzem, the psycho-oncologist and systemic family therapist Adelheid Richter, nursing director Petra Pöpel-Gajek, as well as palliative care specialists Sebastian Bauer and Christine Heilmeier-Herz. The expert team is complemented by hospital and palliative chaplains Dominik Peßler and Bettina Callies, chairperson of the Regensburg Hospice Association.
An Event Experience with Space for Personal Questions
The atmosphere in the auditorium is focused on concentrated information and respectful exchange. The event combines professional classification with real-life perspectives from daily accompaniment of those at the end of life. This creates a protected environment in which uncertainties can be addressed, and support options can be clearly communicated.
Discussion and Personal Conversation
After the expert contributions, there will be time for discussions and personal conversations. Visitors can bring up their own questions, share experiences, and take home suggestions for dealing with severe illness, dying, and farewell. The event planning is aimed at all individuals who wish to consciously engage with these topics.
Conclusion: Orientation for a Particularly Important Life Phase
Last Aid means not leaving people alone at the end of life and providing relatives with security in dealing with a challenging situation. Those seeking understandable information, expert perspectives, and open exchange will find a valuable event experience at the Thon-Dittmer-Palais. Admission is free; seat reservation is recommended.
