Just listening makes your heart heavy: When the employees of the KIT crisis intervention team talk about their missions, you can feel the force of mental pain. When people lose their loved ones. Or parents a child – the worst that can happen.
And immediately one remembers one’s own moments when a loss was almost unbearable, the pain was paralyzing. You remember the people who didn’t leave you alone, who helped. Even if it was just listening. The KIT of the Munich Clinic does exactly that when it is called: hug, listen (SZ Plus). As one employee says, you go “with the person affected into a completely changed reality” after a stroke of fate.
The right words help to heal: the relatives, but also the employees of the clinics. Because sometimes they can’t anymore. Because they accompanied people in the last few hours during the pandemic. Because suddenly a colleague died and is missing forever. Or a family member.
Incidentally, such a KIT should not only exist in clinics, but wherever many people work together, laugh, but also experience sadness.
THE DAY IN MUNICH
“We regret that, Munich is a wonderful city” The vegetarian restaurant Tian on Munich’s Viktualienmarkt will close at the end of the year, despite recently winning top cooking awards. Co-owner Paul Ivic on why.
Minister of Transport remains unanswered How did the massive cost explosion and construction delay for the second S-Bahn trunk line come about? The state parliament opposition confronted the responsible CSU minister. But Christian Bernreiter blames others.
Glowing cheeks, sweeping décolleté Full of anticipation, the Wiesn landlords present their steins – and also receive criticism. Wiesn city councilor Anja Berger would have wished that “this motif wasn’t always used”.
At him with a roar At his concert in Munich’s Olympiahalle, megastar Harry Styles shows why he is considered the most iconic musician of his generation: with old and new hits, rituals that he has come to love, charming teasing and the right look.
Caritas criticizes the “two-class approach” to displaced people Dealing with people from the Ukraine shows that an uncomplicated admission is possible, says Director Hermann Sollfrank. But work, social benefits and integration offers should be open to all refugees.
Parking slows down nursing homes The construction of a new senior citizens’ residence in Allach has been delayed because, according to the authorities, there are not enough parking spaces. Even if most of the future residents probably do not have a car.
Beer tables threaten trees The city demands that the Neuhauser Augustiner should keep his beer table sets away from the tribes for ecological reasons. Local politicians are irritated: Why does that apply there and not in the beer gardens?
