Cooking together: Grief Aid for Witwer in Amberg!

Amberg, a city where the joint coexistence is cultivated, offers a special initiative for widower who are looking for support in the course of their grief coping. The Amberg and district of Amberg-Sulzbach has recognized that grief often brings loneliness, especially in older men who have to cope with the loss of their wife. For this reason, cooking and baking courses are organized every year in spring and autumn.

These courses should not only convey culinary skills, but also offer a platform to share and revive memories of the deceased partner. Cooking together creates a feeling of solidarity and conversations are promoted that are of crucial importance for the healing process. Cooking, according to the organizers, is more than just preparing food; It is a way to keep memories alive and overcome social isolation.

cuisine as a grief coping

The nearest course extends over six evenings, with the participants being invited to learn together and exchange ideas. The idea behind this is that the widower in a supportive environment learn new recipes and cooking techniques while they have the opportunity to talk about their experiences. This could help to make the difficult times of grief easier.

The importance of this initiative is not only in practical help in cooking, but also in the emotional support that it offers. It is often the little things in everyday life that appear as a big hurdle after a loss. In the cooking course, the participants can learn how to find their way without their partner in the kitchen, which has changed a large part of their lives.

The hospice association has established itself as an important point of contact for people in mourning and shows how important it is to promote community and initiate discussions when life often appears so confusing. By offering this opportunity to the widows, they contribute to sharing the burden of grief and creating a network of support.
