Coburg commemorates suicide victim

Mario dieringer is 46 years old and in the middle of life. Friends describe him as a fun-loving and optimistic person who is good to party with. But appearances are deceiving: he suffers from depression and tries to take his own life with an overdose of pills. Mario dieringer can be saved at the last minute.
During this time, the love of his life is always by his side and manages to make the world a little bit better for him with a hug. While mario dieringer fights against the "cancer of the soul fights, his rough love also falls ill with depression. After a quarrel, what was to shape mario dieringer’s life forever finally happens: his life partner commits suicide, and this time there is no one who can intervene to help.

Talking more about depression

Before he knows it, mario dieringer’s life is dominated by renewed depression, feelings of guilt and immense rage. Until he starts blogging about his thoughts and feelings on the internet. He gets encouragement from around the world and realizes there are more people who have lost a loved one to suicide. Mario dieringer makes a decision: he wants to talk more about depression and suicide. He wants to give support to the bereaved in this difficult time. And he wants people with suicidal thoughts can be saved.
The "trees of memory" project on the second anniversary of his life partner’s death, he will set off around the world to plant trees of remembrance in the lands crisscrossed. These trees are not only to commemorate the deceased, but also to become a place of hope for the bereaved.

Comfort and forgiveness

But it should not remain with the trees alone: in coburg the association "trees of memory" organized now a service in memory of suicide victims, to which survivors of all denominations were invited.
Consolation and forgiveness were the central themes of the devotion held by dean roland huth and pastor michael dietrich. The central message of her sermon is that, although everything does not always become well again immediately, healing can only happen by confronting the reality. The bereaved can find comfort in jesus christ as he takes the heavy burden of guilt and self-reproach off their shoulders and promises that separation by death is not the last word.
In addition to mario dieringer’s highly emotional account of his experience, the devotional contains many quiet but moving moments. Alina probst offers "tears in heaven" with a lot of feeling by eric clapton dar. In their prayers, the members of the association pray that the bereaved with feelings of guilt can fill the gaps left by the suicide of their loved one with loving memories, that rescue workers will be strengthened in their work, and that all those who are struggling with life will be given new hope by god. The candle lighting ceremony was particularly touching, with the members of the association lighting candles at the easter candle for the victims and the bereaved.
Finally, the visitors to the devotion were invited to do the same. A little hesitant at first, they finally gave themselves a jolt.
Finally, the steps in front of the altar of the moritz church shone in candlelight, which should also be a symbol of hope for all those who no longer see any light in their lives.
