The heavy autumn storms of 2013 left heavy tree damage on the island. The association "Orphaned parents and grieving siblings Schleswig-Holstein e.V." supports reforestation through a very special project. The tree has a strong symbolic power. Deeply rooted in the earth, he grows towards the light of heaven, where the deceased child has found a new home. On the last Saturday in April, the International Day of the Tree, survivors have the opportunity to plant a tree to commemorate their child. On the day of planting, families can attach a homemade butterfly with the name of their child to the designated tree. I find a nice idea of bereavement management. veid.de
