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.

Always in my heart and thoughts. Much loved and missed.

You saved others, but couldn't save yourself. I hope you see Chris, Charlotte, Alice, Luke and Faye and see the good you were part of.

We have lost our dear Grandad Cavill at 93 this year. But due to COVID restrictions we didn’t get to say our goodbyes. He said many times he was ready to be in heaven with Grandma Cavill which brings our family peace. I’m hoping he will be up there this Christmas making everyone his Christmas cake and having a pint.

Miss you so much. Always love you.xx

Your all thought about every day &
Missed by all xxx

Always in my thoughts mum

You were the kindest Mum ever and so sad that you never lived to enjoy all your grand children.

You wasn’t just my grandad you was my dad and my best friend. I wish you could have met Freya and I wish I could call you and tell you all about her and our life. I know your here with me but I wish I could just hear your voice and see your face. I love you grandad and we will see each other again!

Mum. You made our Christmas so special. From being small to grown adults. We miss you every day.

Lisa was diagnosed with terminal Melanoma in 2020 and when the time came was cared for, as she had wished, by the wonderful " Angels" that work at the St Barnabas Hospice in Lincoln. I can say without a moments hesitation that from the second we arrived at the Hospice the care and attention that was shown to Lisa and all our family was simply unbelievable in every way. We will always be thankful for those last few days that made a heart breaking time a little more bearable for us all. I am not a particularly religious person but i say "God bless each and everyone of you". Thank you and Happy Christmas to you all.

With love
Always in our hearts
