Abstract:
Getting the diagnosis of "paraplegia" means an extremely deep cut into someone's life. Suddenly everything is changed. Questions are arising: Why me? What is the meaning behind this? Pastoral care accompanies patients and their families during these hard weeks and months. There is time for people and their pain. It is not about offering easy solutions but about helping people to find their own language to express their inner experience and hopefully in the end, to find their own way with the disability. There is hope that something new can arise from the fragments of one's former life.
