Opening Session:
Dr. Bill Webster takes a familiar story to all to
develop an allegory of grief and grieving, to show that
it is not what happens, but how we allow ourselves to be
affected by what happens that really counts. How the red

Grief
and bereavement is something that touches everyone at
some point in their lives.
For
those who are in positions and vocations where they are
working with those who are grieving and/or bereaved, it
is important that they are equipped with the tools and
strategies that will assist them, and those they are assisting,
to move forward in a positive manner.
This second annual conference, initiated by Bereaved
Families of Ontario, will be focused on how grief
and bereavement workers can provide support, understanding
and encouragement to both those they service, and each
other.
