Daisy Vision Counselling

11/11/2025

At the Grief Cafe today, we began by focusing our attention on remembering those who have given their lives fighting for us on this Remembrance Day, and how the wars impacted everyday life with the pain of loss. We all agreed that today is a special day on which we were able to share our gratitude.

We then shared our experiences of how special dates impact our grieving, such as birthdays, and anniversaries. We concluded that although we have much sadness and miss our loved ones more than words can tell many of us agreed that we find it comforting to focus on the love we shared and appreciate the happier memories.

We meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday and hire All Saints Church Hall on Smedley Street for our meetings.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 25th November and we will be talking about feeling our grief intensify at this time of year as we start to get nearer to Christmas and talk about ways of coping with our grief.

A few days ago, I had a wander on a beautiful sunny morning in Matlock Bath.
The night before I had attended the Festival of Remembrance, at the Grand Pavillion, Matlock, which I had found to be very moving, particularly the music played by the Matlock Brass Band and songs we shared.
So, I thought I would capture some of the natural beauty of the river and hillside combined with the poppies to once again remind us not only of those who gave their lives for us in the World Wars, but those who still do so, on a daily basis.

For those who would like to talk about their grief and loved ones they miss, with others that understand, in an informal group setting we run this grief support group in Matlock. This isn't providing counselling, but can be comforting and helpful for those that are ready to join with others and talk.

Just a reminder that we meet again on Tuesday (9th September). Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to talk about coming along. You can ring me on 07726 465229 or if you prefer email yvonne@daisyvision.co.uk. 🙂

Hello everyone,

It was so lovely to meet up again after a short break. There was such a beautiful atmosphere of fond reunions on Tuesday.

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared about their experiences of the most helpful support they received from family and friends, and also the ways in which the awkwardness of not knowing what to say, but silence, can make it very difficult. I think it was generally agreed that it was helpful to talk about our loved ones, even though we realise it is often difficult for family and friends to do so.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 9th September, 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm and we hire All Saints' Hall on Smedley Street, Matlock.

Our focus will be: the most difficult time of the day and coping mechanisms we find helpful.

If you would like to know more feel free to ring me on 07726 465229 or email yvonne@daisyvision.co.uk.

Take care and see you soon,

Yvonne

Just a reminder!

Just a reminder that we don't meet until 26th August (due to the holiday season) - sorry about that, I know it makes it a long time.

So, our next meeting is Tuesday 26th August when we will be discussing helpful and unhelpful things people have said to us, relating to our grief. Can people be too empathetic?

See you then,
Yvonne.
