Freitodbegleitung in Hamburg – Würdevoll Abschied nehmen an der Elbe

Hamburg steht für Freiheit, hanseatische Gelassenheit und klare Worte – auch, wenn es um den Tod geht. In unserer Arbeit begegnen wir immer mehr Menschen, die in Hamburg ihren letzten Weg bewusst und selbstbestimmt gehen wollen. Die Freitodbegleitung in Hamburg ermöglicht diesen Weg – rechtlich fundiert, medizinisch begleitet und mit tiefem Respekt vor Ihrer Lebensgeschichte.

Ob Sie in Altona, Eimsbüttel, Wandsbek, Harburg, Mitte oder Bergedorf wohnen – wir sind für Sie da. Unsere Gespräche sind vertraulich, unsere Prozesse transparent. Wir beraten zu allen Themen: vom ärztlich assistierten Suizid über die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen bis zur praktischen Durchführung der Freitodbegleitung.

Hamburgs Vielfalt spiegelt sich auch in den Menschen wider, die sich an uns wenden. Jung oder alt, krank oder erschöpft vom Leben – jede Anfrage ist ernst gemeint. Wir bieten einen klaren, achtsamen Weg für all jene, die in Frieden gehen möchten. Ob allein, mit Angehörigen oder im Schutz der Anonymität – wir begleiten Sie.
