08/26/2026, representatives of AKZ Rimma Štubler and Silvija Niedergecker held a master class on the topical modern topic of “Grief” for local residents at the Slovenian Philanthropy “Hiša sadežev družbe Metlika”.

Grief is not a sign of weakness, but a natural process of healing our soul and returning to normal life. Since we all experience sadness, the pain of loss, it is important to understand this and talk about it.

Since we are all different, each of us goes through different phases of recovery at different speeds. Grief is not a straight line, but a curve of feelings.

At all stages of mourning, we should pay attention to healthy nutrition, sufficient fluid intake, sleep and exercise, as well as rest in nature. If something breaks in a grieving person and they no longer see a way out, if the burden is too heavy, they need to seek professional help.

The topic was really difficult for the summer time, but it touched everyone and gave us clues for reflection and remembering those or what we have lost.
