This will be the first year of my life that I will not be able to speak to you on Christmas Day. Always in my thoughts. Love you Mum xx

Thinking of our wonderful Mum and Nana at Christmas time. Always in our thoughts. She will be so greatly missed as she is every day. Sending her all our love and kisses. xxxxxx

Both loved an missed.

Christmas was Mum’s favourite time of year, when she was more excited than even the grandchildren! Having lost Mum earlier this year, Christmas is going to be a really difficult time where her absence is felt so greatly. We love and miss you so much Mum.

Sharon loved Christmas – everything about it – food, drink, fun, shopping but most of all, giving to other people.
I miss my sister every single day and our family is not the same without her.

Dear Robert
You were taken from us so unexpectedly and we miss you dreadfully. Christmas will be very difficult without you darling xxxx

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.

Our visits to see the Christmas lights on Regent Street will be one of my most special memories. I miss you dad xx

Strength not measured just in years, but seen in kindness measured forever.

To our beautiful Mum and Nanny, you are in our thoughts and our hearts every day. We miss you dearly, love always from your daughters and grandchildren xxxx

I will always be your big sister.
I miss you like you could never imagine.

Merry Christmas, Peter.

Love you forever,
Abi xxx

Missed every day.

Remembering a much loved husband and father. Forever in our thoughts and hearts. Xx

Treasured memories of the bestest Mum & Dad
