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.
In loving memory of our beautiful mum.
This will be our first Christmas without you. It was always such a happy time for us and you loved to get the family together for a big meal out go out dancing with dad.
Thank-you for always being there, supporting me and giving unconditional love. I never felt judged by you, and you always made me feel secure taking my own path in life.
We can't believe you are gone and will miss you forever.
I’m remembering my lovely, kind, funny and generous Grandad and great grandad to my 3 children.
We miss you everyday, it’s been a really tough time not having you with us but we talk about you snd our memories and we look for you in each day.
Cobie and I look for you in the sky ????
Love and miss you so much xxx
Papa und Opa, wir denken an dich. ❤️
Tony
Missing you every day hard to be without you after being in my life for 65 years, married for 55 years and raising two great sons.
It’ll be hard this Christmas without you Tony.
I sang for you in the Community Choir on Tuesday night, 21 November, every word remembering our life together.
All My Love Gill xx
Dad, thinking of you always, and miss you lots, Adam

We always put the baubles on the tree for you mum. Each year you took us to see the lights in town and every year you made a huge Christmas cake. We always brought gifts for the dogs and always had the most beautiful food.
