Hello, I have made a kind donation in memory of my amazing mum, Sarah and would love to share her story.

My mum was cared for by St Barnabas hospice, and stayed in the inpatient unit November-December 2024. At the age of 38 she had been diagnosed with a rare, incurable form of genetic lung cancer. Her short battle with cancer was terrible for us all to see, but the incredible care she received at your hospice meant the world to us.

One of the last memories we ever made with our mum was watching the torchlight procession together outside the unit. The staff assisted in bundling my mum up in blankets and fluffy socks and wheeled her outside to watch the light walk with her family and children. There were tears, smiles, laughter, kind words and hugs from those passing by. I am heartbroken yet honoured to be participating in the walk this year in honour of my mother.

On the 4th of December, the staff set up their conservatory to allow us to spend one last Christmas Day as a family. We laid presents under the beautiful tree, played music and ate a Christmas dinner and cakes brought in by family. My mum was able to watch her young boys and teenage girls open the presents she’d picked out for them earlier in the year, alongside being spoilt herself with lots and lots of bracelets, teddy bears and skincare! The nurses were constantly on hand to assist with pain management and ensuring my mum was comfortable throughout the day.

The staff gave it their all, from washing, brushing and drying mum’s hair to being there for a broken family in the worst moments of their life. They went above and beyond to allow us to make those last memories. The nurses constantly spoke to me and my siblings and ensured we were staying as strong as possible! Mandy stayed with us as my mum took her last breaths and I’m forever grateful that we had her support and guidance, and that she showed my mum complete compassion and gentle care right up until the end.

My mum was treated with respect and dignity until the moment she left your unit. She loved the yummy food, joking around with her nurses and watching the squirrels and birds from her window. It felt like home.

Thank you St Barnabas, we will always keep your charity close to our hearts. You have made a huge difference to our lives.

To my mum, who gave me a stocking every Christmas even when I was grown up. Merry Christmas and lots of love, Sarah x

Missing you both so much.happy Christmas xx

25 years since you left us , mum, missing you as much as ever xx

Happy Christmas Mum, I still miss you every day and as Christmas comes round once again it reminds me how much I miss seeing you in your musical Santa hat and how much laughter we shared. Enjoy your Christmas with Nanna and Grandad. Love you always xx

First Christmas without Dad and what would have been his 80th birthday on Boxing Day.
Daddy Sharman we miss you every day. You will always be loved and never forgotten. From Dan and Gem xxxx

We miss you & love you so much daddy xxx

Mums favourite time of the year was Christmas, mainly because she loved to gather her family around her. She was a strong supporter of St Barnabas and always dedicated a light on the tree of life.
We were very grateful for their care of mum in her final weeks, and love to support St Barnabas each Christmas in mum’s memory.

Will be remembered always as a great Dad and loving husband xx

It's always hard at this time of year and things don't get any easier. However, I have many fond memories, which make me laugh, cry and smile.
Always in my thoughts each and every day.

Love Maureen

Remembering my Dad on my first Christmas without him.
