Miss you both x

You were such good parents.
Thank you

Christmas was always a special time between my Dad and I. Always big on traditions, we would go pick out a tree together, decorate it and the house whilst listening to Christmas music and eating mince pies!
This year marks 5 years since he passed away, and I have struggled to uphold these traditions the past 5 years, but I finally feel like I will be able to get back to them this year with the fond memories of Christmases past and smile knowing he would be happy that I can get back to enjoying a holiday that I have always loved.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love and miss you everyday. I hope that I do you proud with my Christmas tree choice!! 🙂 xxxx

Dad,
I miss your smiling face but know that you are watching over me always. You are forever in my heart, until we meet again.
Love always, your buddy, Abbie xx

My Gran was the kindest person I knew. She would do anything for me and I would do anything for her. She was lucky to receive the amazing care that she did from the hospice and I miss her so much

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.

Missing my family and dear friends every day and especially at Christmas time.

We always enjoyed our Christmas time together over the years and I miss him so much.

Remembering Mum and Dad this Christmas!

DU BIST IMMER IN UNSEREN HERZEN. ❤️
YOU ARE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.

Dearest David a year since you left us and I miss you more every day.
So very grateful to the staff at St Barnabas hospice for the wonderful care and love they gave you in your final weeks.

This will be my first Christmas without my beloved Florence, and I sadly miss her with all my heart. I know that this is what Florence would have wanted as St Barnabas made her last days comfortable.

Happy Christmas Mum, I still miss you every day and as Christmas comes round once again it reminds me how much I miss seeing you in your musical Santa hat and how much laughter we shared. Enjoy your Christmas with Nanna and Grandad. Love you always xx

Mum,
You will forever be in my thoughts, especially at Christmas time, which you loved.
Love and miss you always ????
