Ask me Anything: Brigitte, bist du einsam?

Brigitte will soon be 75, lives in a retirement home – and has never had children of her own. We've collected your questions, and Brigitte answers them. Is she lonely? Who takes care of her paperwork? And is she sad about not having children or grandchildren? Lisa-Sophie will find out today. She talks to Brigitte about dependence on her family, her life as a teacher, her divorce, who still visits her in the retirement home – and what she thinks about Billie Eilish's music. You can find all the films from our series "Can I be happy without children?" here:    • Kann ich ohne Kinder glücklich werden?   This film is for educational purposes.

Why do we bully? Do we drink too much? Or: What does porn do to us? We're interested in questions that are important to all of us and are often only discussed superficially. "The Question" explores situations and conversations that touch us, trigger something in us, or inspire us. We look for different perspectives and provide in-depth information. ---------- The Question on Facebook:   / diefrage   The Question on Instagram:   / diefrage_offiziell   The Question on TikTok:   / diefrage_offiziell   The Question as a podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7Dg1kag...
