Christmas is a very special time to remember very special people. We dedicate these lights to our grandparents every year; knowing that they will make a difference to those facing challenging times across Lincolnshire makes it extra special.

Missed dearly and still very much loved.

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.

Remembering you this Christmas.

This was my husband’s most favourite time of the year. He loved all things shiny and glittery and would decorate the house with as much as he could get away with. This is our first year without him. ????

My mom and Best Friend who was there for me. The most selfless person I have ever known. All mom wanted was to be with her family, nothing else mattered to her. She fought Dementia and Alzheimer’s for 8 years. I love you mom xxx

You may have gone but you are never forgotten.

Lots of love
Karen, Kev and grandson Alex

My husband was the kindest and gentle n man and greatly missed by all the family – even our great grand children who were 4 and 5 when Bill died ( they are 8 and 9 now still talk about him and they hope he is looking down on them .

The memory of your beautiful smile my darling will light up my Christmas.

Another Christmas without you Grandad. I miss you more than words can say. Hope you’re up there rattling the coins in your pocket. I love you always and forever!

Our Warrior… you will be missed nearly as much as you are loved!
