… bei Lebens- und Glaubensfragen
This somehow grows over my head: study, work, private, along with inner imbalance due to existential questions that break ground in the soul again and again, although at the moment you can’t use it at all. It’s good if someone helps sort.
Accompaniment and advice on questions of life and faith is offered by university chaplain Matthias Fritz by appointment.

Trauergruppe für Studierende
In everyday study, there is usually little room for grief after the death of a close person from family or friends. Corona, virtual semester, exams and internships take no account of this.
A good way to exchange experiences, feelings and your own thoughts is to have a mourning group with other students. The university pastoral care offers this group with the pastor and pastor Bettina Donath-Kreß. Religious affiliation does not matter. The group comes with at least. three interested students and, if necessary, make further appointments after an initial meeting.
Registration takes place via the Evangelical or Catholic university pastoral care (pastor Swantje Eibach-Danzeglocke, ESG, esg-eibach@rwth-aachen.de or pastor Matthias Fritz, KHG, mf@khg-aachen.de
