JUST WISHING YOU WERE STILL HERE TO SHARE OUR MEMORIES TOGETHER

My first Christmas without my
much-loved Mum. Thought of and missed every minute of every day.

Lovely kind gentleman. He worked so hard for his family all his life and is greatly missed by us all.

My Mum always made Christmas so magical, we love and miss her more and more each year xx

Remembering all of our special Christmas memories mum xx
Missing you more than you will ever know xx love you xx

It'll be 10 years since you both died, soon. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and sometimes it feels like another lifetime ago.
You are both loved and missed always, especially at Christmas time.

In loving memory of Linda. Remembered by all those who knew her and loved her.
A shining light in all our memories that will never dim.

I love and miss you both so much, I wish I could have just one day to spend with you both, to hear your voices and to feel your touch. I love you both so much it hurts that you’re not here, but I have memories ❤️

Dear Colin
This is a special time of year for us with your birthday closely followed by Christmas. Sadly it is also the time that I lost you unexpectedly last year. This year has been the toughest of my life and I miss you so much. Wishing you were here with me this Christmas. Debbie xx

My mum was a loving mother, mother in law and nana who is missed so much. My mum dedicated her life caring for us all and for others as she worked caring for the sick and elderly. St Barnabas hospice looked after her in her last few days which was greatly appreciated by us all. Please keep up the great work you do everyday. Love to you all this Christmas time xxx

Your forever in my heart.

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.
