JOURNAL SECTION
FINALLY FOR CARING TIMES
We understand life as a journey, including fragile times and the end of this journey. We understand not only healthy phases, but also phases of illness as shapeable stages of life in which those affected, their families, and loved ones are equally involved. With us, even the end of life finds a place in life.
End-of-life care
WHAT CAN I DO IF THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO?
What to do when there's nothing left to do? End-of-life care is often no longer about healing, but rather about closeness, dignity, and companionship. Small gestures become more meaningful: a warm washcloth, a familiar voice, a pleasantly scented oil. In such moments, it's not the big things that count, but the subtle ones.
finally aims to address this very issue with care products that are not only functional, but also beautiful, soft, and dignified. Products that enable touch and help create a loving environment. Because even if nothing more can be done medically, a great deal can be achieved emotionally and humanely.
It's about being there, showing presence and giving big things with small things.

THE LAST SHIRT HAS NO POCKETS
At the end of life, what matters is not what we own, but what we share with one another: closeness, memories, affection. Caregiving reveals how much meaning lies in the little things.

UNIFORMS OF THE PATIENT
more about thisWhat we wear shapes who we are—or who we are allowed to be. Especially in nursing: When clothing doesn't serve the wearer but primarily serves functional purposes, it can be disempowering. The nursing overall thus becomes the patient's uniform—and says a lot about our relationship to bodies, dignity, and care.
