Children are wonderful. The desire to have children and to accompany them as they grow up is deeply rooted in many people. And pregnancy is a stroke of luck. Not every couple is given the chance to conceive at the desired time. If the desire to have children remains unfulfilled for a long time, various medical aids are available. However, despite great progress, even these offer no guarantee that the goal of pregnancy will be achieved.
If couples decide in favour of this route, new questions will arise that require further decisions:
- Why did the pregnancy fail to materialise?
- What measures make sense?
- What time frames are involved?
- What help can and would we like to make use of?
- How far do we want to go? Are there alternatives?
All of this is accompanied by many thoughts and feelings. Hope and uncertainty,
Trust and being at the mercy of others, anticipation and anxiety will characterise the journey. It is
it is important to accept this challenge together as a couple or as a family.
Conversations
During this time, dialogue partners are more important than usual. As the pastoral care team at Bethesda Hospital, we can be such a partner for you. We are open to what is on your mind. We have time for you. We listen. We accompany you when you are weighing up decisions or want to reflect on them afterwards
want to reflect on them again. We respect your personal view of life,
Your world view or your religion.
Confidentiality
We keep what you entrust to us.
Room of silence
Bethesda Hospital's Room of Silence is located on the first floor above the entrance hall. You can visit it for a personal time of rest or prayer. From Monday to Friday, the Bethesda Sisterhood holds a public lunchtime prayer here. You can write down your intentions in the intercessory prayer book, which will be taken up during this time of prayer.
Rituals
Prayers, gestures and rituals can be helpful to let go or to regain hope. We will accompany you.
