A Child Among the Stars: Uli Michel speaks about grief, support, and new perspectives

On Friday, November 6, 2026, the Regional Library Weiden invites you to a special reading with midwife and trauma specialist Uli Michel. The focus is on her book A Child Among the Stars. How Parents of Stillborn Children Find Support – an empathic evening about star children, experiences of loss, and the difficult path back to life.

Words for the Incomprehensible

Uli Michel addresses a topic that deeply affects many families but often remains unspoken in everyday life. She reads from her book, shares encounters from her work, and shows how listening, enduring, and respectful accompaniment can help in times of great uncertainty.

The event combines literary reading, personal insights, and professional guidance. With great clarity, Uli Michel opens perspectives for parents of stillborn children and for people who accompany the grieving.

An Evening for Affected Individuals, Relatives, and Professionals

The reading is aimed at parents, family members, friends, neighbors, and employers. Psychologists, midwives, caregivers, doctors, funeral directors, and chaplains will also find inspiration for professional handling of loss and crises.

After the reading, there will be an opportunity to engage in conversation with the author. This creates space for questions, exchange, and a gentle encounter with a sensitive societal issue.

Accompanying Exhibition Makes Star Children Visible

In connection with the event, the exhibition STAR CHILDREN – WHEN THE CRADLE STAYS EMPTY… is available. It aims to inform about stillbirths and experiences of loss, contribute to destigmatization, and promote exchange between those affected, relatives, and professionals. The organizer of the exhibition is Donum Vitae Weiden.

Visitors can expect a calm, reflective, and at the same time strengthening literary evening in the reading café of the Regional Library Weiden. The event creates intimacy where often silence prevails and invites you to experience Uli Michel's words live and engage in conversation with one another.
