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 September, GreenAcres welcomes Dr. Webster to Colney 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.

Event Overview

Every year since 2002 from 9 – 15 October is Baby Loss Awareness Week. Throughout the week bereaved parents, family members and friends can commemorate the all-too-brief lives of their babies, knowing that thousands of other families elsewhere in the world will be doing the same.

The week also provides a crucial opportunity for people to talk openly about the subject of and raise awareness of baby loss. The week ends with Baby Loss Awareness Day and many choose to take part in the global ‘Wave of Light’.

On Wednesday 15 October we invite you to Kemnal Park for our Wave Of Light service. You will have the opportunity to light a candle, take some peaceful reflection time in our beautiful service halls, take a walk around the Park, and write a message on a wooden heart for remembrance on our memory trees.

Please register for this event.

Free tea, coffee and cakes will be available after the service along with a warm reception from our team.
