Dad, always in our hearts and still so missed. Thank you for all the comfort that you give us by knowing you are still watching over us all.

I’ll be lighting up a life again for my Pops.. this is a special occasion and so moving.. We like to think he’s shining bright on top of the Christmas tree and like to visit throughout the festive period. St Barnabas means a lot to us they give amazing care as the most difficult times not only to their patients but families too.. I’ll also be dedicating lights to my Mama, Grangrad & Ella.. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS ♥️???????? xx

We lost dad in September whilst he was on holiday with my mum in Crete. We lost him so suddenly and far too soon. A kind, gentle and hard working man and the best dad you could ask for. We all miss you so much. We’re all looking after mum, don’t worry. We hope we continue to make you proud.
Miss you and love you forever

Remembering my beautiful mum who sadly passed away on 5.11.20.

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.

Christmas has never been the same since losing you all. You are missed so very much. X

Jane was very well cared for at the hospice in her final few weeks. It's almost 8 years but she's still very much loved and missed. It's the anniversary of us losing our lovely Dad tomorrow to Covid. Brother Dave & I will be together and raising several glasses to him.

First Christmas without you pops, we’ll raise a glass or two for you! Love and miss you so very much xxx

Another Christmas Mum, another year without you. We all miss you so much. Love you always Sarah, Jeremy and all the family. ❤️xxxxx❤️

Merry heavenly Christmas, miss you every single day but know you are shining down on me

Merry Christmas mum missing you so much I love you with all my heart xx

Thinking of you both

My beautiful husband Tim, Happy Heavenly Wedding Anniversary and Christmas Day Birthday. I Love you, Always and Forever. Christmas 2022
