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.

Mum, Grandma & Grandad you are dearly missed especially this time of year as we always spent Christmas as a family.

We all love and miss you.

Remembering you Dad, will miss you this Christmas.

Always on my mind Jamesy, forever in my heart, love Mum xxxx

We will always remember you Elaine, not just at Christmas. You, Richard, Kathryn and David were like family to us. So many happy times spent together. RIP xxx

Another Christmas without you both, yet not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. This time of year still doesn’t feel the same, but I reflect on every moment we got to share. The grief of your absence is strongest amidst the festive joy, yet it reminds me how fortunate I was to be so deeply loved.

Merry Christmas, Grandma & Grandad –
cheers to you with a Sherry or two!
I’ll light a candle in memory of you;
two loving hearts still guide me through.
All my love, forever and more –
I’ll see one day, waiting at Heaven’s door. ♥️

Merry Christmas up there mate X

A wonderful husband who was taken far too soon very suddenly. Much loved and missed.

The world is a sadder place without you

These people meant a huge amount to me and provided light in my life and so I want to ensure they continue to provide light to others

Forever in the thoughts of all the family

We will remember our nanna because she helped Joe build his lego carousel last Christmas, because she made Evie two aprons, and the one with castles on it is her favourite, and for all the pennies she gave Joe and Evie every year for the advent calendars she made for them. We will so miss our Nanna this Christmas but we will love you forever. Joe and Evie xxxx

Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you, but Christmas brings your memory even closer. We can almost see you with a glass of red in hand, laughter lighting up the room just like you always did. You filled our lives with warmth, kindness, and joy — and that light still shines in our hearts. Cheers to you, always.

With love, from Mum and me x
