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.

Remembering our lovely Lizzie . Missed and loved by us all every day.

Maurice stayed with you in the hospice at the end of his life and we are grateful for the care you gave. Maurice is always in our memories and much missed especially by his daughter's Juliet and Lauren xx

Christmas has been a lot duller since you left us, nobody quite tells the reindeer joke quite like you did!
I miss u every single day, love you Dad xx

Christmas is a very special time to remember very special people. We dedicate these lights to our grandparents every year; knowing that they will make a difference to those facing challenging times across Lincolnshire makes it extra special.

We love and miss you Dad.
You will be the brightest star in the sky this Christmas.
Lots of love Claire, Katy, Richard and Louis

The team at St Barnabas looked after my uncle with such care and dignity. I will never forget everything the truly amazing team at the inpatient unit does for everyone of their patients. They deserve the world. I'm so happy to carry a torch in my uncles memory, and to support such amazing people.

Christmas is the hardest time without you. Always thinking about you everyday. Missing you so much. Love ❤️ you so much with all my heart . Sending you big hugs. Xxxxxxx

My dad, my hero, nothing ever got him down and even when he was receiving care from the hospice he still had the Christmas spirit wearing reindeer headband and flashing nose to “makes the nurses smile” it’s still my fav Christmas picture ever! Such beautiful happy memories it brings back! Loved and missed forever xxxxx

Merry Christmas to my dad my hero, it’s just not the same without you, we miss you checking ‘he has been’
Love you always
Rach xXx

Constantly loved, forever remembered. Xx
