Dad, somehow it’s been a year since you passed. You live on in all our hearts and minds. I know you’re at peace now and look forward to the day we meet again. Until then keep looking down upon us all and know I will always do my best to make you proud. Love always Adam x

Loved and missed always , ????

Second Christmas without you, happy memories live on though. Remembering you this year in a very special way as myself and family lead the Torchlight Procession

For my dearest Auntie Bett. A year has passed and it seems like only yesterday. Those last weeks were made bearable by the love and care of the wonderful hospice. What I'd give just to have a hug again. I miss her more than words.

In loving memory of Linda. Remembered by all those who knew her and loved her.
A shining light in all our memories that will never dim.

Both loved an missed.

This time of year is always tough and it never gets easier.
Tonight is dedicated to 3 extremley special people who have been taken by such a cruel illness and only my Uncle having the wonderful experience and care provided by the Hospice.

You are all so sorely missed and will be forever in my heart and thoughts x x

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.

Ezra was a wonderful husband and father and kind to everyone. He had a gift for handling animals and could calm a nervous or aggressive animal with his kind and gentle manner. He was loved by his family, friends and neighbours who miss him sadly but we can treasure memories of the happy times with had when he was with us.
