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.

Merry Christmas Grandma and Grandad. I miss you both so much, but this is your first Christmas back together in a while. I hope you’re watching over me everyday and I hope I’m making you proud. I love you both xx

In fond memory of a lovely wife, mother and nanny. Forever in our thoughts and never forgotten. Miss you. Tony xxx

Remembering a very special stepdad at this time of year, we think of you everyday and you will stay forever in our hearts. This will be the first Christmas without you and it won’t seem right not writing and sending a special Christmas card to you. Your light will shine on the tree and bring us comfort as will the light on our Christmas tree. As we decorate our tree we shall be remembering you with loving affection and although it will bring a tear your light will bring us comfort. Loving you always and remembering you each day, love from Julie, Daryll, Sean, Michelle and Mark xxxxx

Dad, I don't know how to make the stuffing like you and grandad did so dinner can never be the same. Thank you for the years you kept opening the kitchen door, always at the wrong time, and rolling your eyes at my obsessive list checking. No one else can take that place. I miss you.

Warbie, a close and life long friend, much missed by all,
Hannah, not just a work colleague, a special lady who is a beautiful soul and very much missed
Trev, 5 years gone now, I wish things could’ve been different, remember you always

Forever in my heart
Love you

No matter where I go or what I am doing, I always think, "You should still be here."

Loved beyond measure and missed beyond words, always. Charlotte & Ollie xxxx

Remembering Nan and Dad and loved ones we have lost. Christmas is the time to remember and reminisce of those special times spent together. Precious times and reminders to spend time making precious memories with loved ones here.

Christmas will never be the same without my darling husband at my side. Sorely missed and never forgotten.

Thinking of our lovely parents especially at this time of year. Always loved, always remembered xxxx

Missed dearly and still very much loved.
Forever in our hearts xx

Love and miss you always

A Christmas light for love and peace in memory of my darling mum.

Love and Hugs at Christmas xx

To Dad, my hero,
I think of you and miss you every single day. There is a dad shaped hole in my heart that feels more prominent at this time of year.
This light is dedicated to you. May it shine as bright as your smile.
Merry Christmas.
Love you always
