The fist of the universe. Television doctor Dr. Johannes Wimmer (37) used this metaphor in recent months.

At the beginning of the year, life seemed to be at its absolute peak. It was as if there could be no more uphill. He had found a great love with his wife Clara, a new television contract in his pocket, the sweet daughter Maximilia had just been born, everything seemed perfect. Until the terrible diagnosis in August …

On Saturday morning, Maximila died of a rare and very aggressive brain tumor. The girl was no longer allowed to experience her first Christmas.

“Maximilia went on a trip to the stars in her sleep, safe and cared for in our bed,” Johannes Wimmer tells BILD am SONNTAG. “Our whole family was able to say goodbye in peace and quiet.”

Just a few weeks ago, the TV doctor and his wife Clara brought her home from the hospital. Here, accompanied by a team of palliative care and physiotherapists, they tried to live a little common normality. The couple even got married in the meantime so that the little family can bear the same name.

Wimmer at BILD am SONNTAG: “You have completed your beloved little life and we will hold it in fond memories. It was a life full of love and laughter, which we will try to preserve for ourselves in this difficult time. “

He would like to especially thank all the friends and family who supported him and his wife.

“Only through these people and the wonderful palliative medicine and physical therapists, the Knack den Krebs association, the Theodorus Children’s Hospice and a pediatrician, who was there for us like a rock in the surf at the crucial moment, were we able to help the little astronaut and to us “. Spend the last moments on earth safely at home. “

It was an uphill battle with cancer. At first, in the vague hope that things might end well in this case, it must end. Then with the realization that the battle for life will no longer be won. “Then he chose the right moment to leave us. And as parents, we told him he could go. “

Wimmer held her little daughter’s hand that last night. “When I woke up in the morning, it was no longer soft or warm.”

The whole family came to say goodbye on Saturday afternoon. A dignified and calm farewell. Jazz music was played, “Maximilia always listened to it in the evenings to sleep.” Burning candles in the window.

“We still had a lot planned, we wanted to experiment with her so much, we are not allowed to do that, but we have wonderful memories with her. Cancer may have taken his life, but we will show cancer that he did not win. “
