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.

For the most beautiful and precious Mum and Nanny, we think of you every day. Missed so dearly, love you so much always xxxxxx

In memory of my amazing wife who took her last flight in April and to the St.Barnabas team who showed extraordinary care to us both.

Always in our hearts ♥️ forever missed. Never forgotten.

Miss you Mam

Love you

Sandra and Rod

Love you forever Mum xx

We miss you especially at Christmas time. With your bah humbug hat on. Eating the minces pies as they came out of the oven.

Remembering my much loved husband , so sadly missed and thought about every day , I will love you forever and never forget you , sleep in heavenly peace my angel ……. Your Jackie ???????????? xxxx

My Dad loved a traditional extended family christmas day lunch. He always laid the table and did most of the washing up whilst myself and 2 sisters went for a walk with relatives.

Geoff was the centre of our family especially at Christmas and is very sadly missed every single day and at this special time of the year

If you get a chance to look down on me, I hope you know that I am missing you.

I have so many memories of my wonderful Grandad, but one of my absolute favourites was when I took him to the hospital for an appointment earlier this year. When we got there I got to wheel him around in a wheelchair which he found absolutely hilarious as I was so scared of pushing him into a wall or a door frame! He even joked as we were leaving about me passing my wheelchair pushing license – making a joke about me not passing my driving test yet! But this is one of my favourite memories because it was the first time I had seen my Grandad genuinely smile for a very long time.

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

Miss you so much mum & dad. This star will shine as you did. Love from all the family xxx
