Mein Sternenkind

„If you say yes to life,
and life itself says no,
that’s the way to say yes to this no.”
(Christian Morgenstern)

Regular get-together for Star child dads

The offer includes non-committal meetings for the fathers of stillborn or deceased children.
The regular get-togethers are currently held in Basel, St.Gallen and Zurich. The get-togethers are organized by concerned fathers.
As with other regular get-togethers, a variety of topics are discussed here as well. The loss of a child can be a topic, but not necessarily. There is no obligation to participate; you can always decide whether you will return or not.
If you are interested in the offer, in listening, or sharing, please contact:

Basel: Stefan Suter, stefansuter73 (at) bluewin.ch

St.Gallen: Markus Steffen, sternenkind (at) village12.ch
