Grief – The Unwelcome Journey
Event Overview
“Grief is not a sign of weakness, but a sign that you cared”
– Dr. Bill Webster
Grief is a deeply personal journey, unique for each individual. Dr. Bill Webster BEM, Grief Counsellor, author and well-known international speaker, understands this not only through his decades of professional experience, but through his own personal losses.
After the death of his wife in 1983, and more recently his son, Dr. Webster came to understand grief in its rawest form. While others encouraged him to “let the healing begin,” he learned that true healing only starts when we allow ourselves to truly hurt – and that journey can take longer than expected.
With over 40 years of experience supporting people through grief, Dr. Webster offers a gentle reminder that grief isn’t something to “get over”. It is a natural response to love and loss – something that stays with us and changes us. Yet there are compassionate ways to help us adjust and find meaning in a changed world.
This April, GreenAcres welcomes back Dr. Webster to Kemnal Park, for a free, in-person seminar designed to offer understanding, comfort and practical guidance.
A gentle, supportive session where Dr. Webster shares insights and personal strategies from his own grief journey. Discover what grief is, why it occurs, how it affects us and how we can begin to heal. He’ll explore the early emotions of grief, the importance of memories and finding meaning after loss.
We warmly invite you to attend and hear from someone who truly understands.
All welcome. Free to attend but spaces are limited – early booking recommended.
