    Einladung für ein Geschenk in den Himmel
    Sep 2 2025
    Am 31.08.2025 wäre mein guter Freund und Podcast-Co-Host Christian Kohlhof 55 Jahre alt geworden. Leider hat er diesen Geburtstag nicht mehr erlebt und ist viel zu früh und plötzlich im Juli 2025 verstorben. In der Verarbeitung von Trauer, Verwirrung und einem Gefühl des Alleinseins lade ich euch ein, gemeinsam mit mir eine besondere Episode als Geburtstagsgeschenk für Christian zu gestalten: mit Geschichten über ihn, gerne auch mit Ausdruck von Dankbarkeit und Vergebung, was vielleicht schwierig war. Christian war begeisterter Podcast und hat mich damals überredet, diesen Podcast mit ihm anzufangen. Ich habe viel daraus mitgenommen, bin sehr dankbar und hoffe, mit diesem Beitrag in seinem Sinne etwas zurückgeben zu können. Herzlichen Dank für eure Beiträge – und dafür, dass wir Christian und sein Wirken in Erinnerung halten. Michael
