The relationship between Roger and his Hospice at Home nurses epitomises the Christmas message of love and hope through the birth of Jesus. Roger's faith sustained him and, I believe, all who helped with his care that enabled him to be at home till the end.
Dear Grandad,
It will be the first Christmas without you this year, but I know you’ll be by outside always. Love you always. Katie and Emilie xx

Stu, missing you more than ever, five years on yet it seems like yesterday 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.
Thinking of you this Christmas, thank you for sending us our precious baby girl ~ Ada Denise ~ to help heal our broken hearts.
Watch over & protect her
You are always in our hearts & thoughts, Love You, from your loving family xxxx
Christmas was always your time to bring our family together, I miss you mum
To my wonderful parents – Irene and Hugh Webster. The world changes from year to year, our lives from day to day, but the love and memories of you, shall never pass away. xx
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.
We miss you, you are now at peace our shining light
Wonderful parents, together again, but so sadly missed.
