This light is dedicated to my beloved husband Martin Lumb who passed in February this year. The hospice looked after my husband in his last few days and supported Martin and I through the palliative care stages . They are the most wonderful people and we couldn’t have done it without their support.
Martin passed with dignity and peace and that meant the world to his whole family.
Miss you every day my darling and will be thinking of you this Christmas as we spend time together as a family without you, you will be in all our hearts and thoughts. Will love you forever my darling .
Susie Lumb .

Mum passed away 2 years ago and would've been 80 this November. She loved a party and getting dressed up, the sparklier the better!
We'll be raising a glass or two to you on your birthday and at Christmas.
Love and miss you so much xxxx

Missed so much, not just at Christmas. Those happy memories you left us with will last a lifetime x

Keith, the love of my life, we shared so many happy loving family Christmas’s together, I miss you everyday but even more so at Christmas. Till we meet again my love xx

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.
