Missing my mam and dad, as both passed away at Christmastime

Every year I have a light to in memory of my Queen, my Nan. I love you lots and miss you dearly. Also this year I lost my fabulous Uncle Mick who was always there for me and my girls. This light is for you too. Love Sarah, Scott, Lilly and Poppy xx

Thinking of you today, and everyday; remembering the light you brought to the world.
With love from Gemma, Becky, Ettie, Joe and Ashley xxx

To Dad,

I miss you so much, even as the year’s pass by so quickly, that doesn’t change. I wish you could have had the opportunity to meet my girls, you would have loved being their Grandad and watching them grow up.
We like to think you are still here, watching over us all.

Love you, Charlotte xxxxx

Always in our hearts and forever grateful to have had you in our lives.

Forever in my heart.

I miss you so much. My heart hurts so bad. Christmas was your favourite time of the year. You loved everything about it. Family gatherings were always fun. You loved giving gifts. Your gifts were always the best because you thought about everyone individually.
Sending big hugs.
Lots of Love

I remember opening our Christmas stockings on your bed & all the effort you always made to make our Christmasses special. Having to try and stop you from spending too much but the presents always overflowing out from under the Christmas tree. Love & miss you, Txxx

Christmas will never be the same, but we have lots of memories to cherish and also lots more to make.

In memory of wonderful grandparents forever in our thoughts x

Happy Birthday Mum,

Just a reminder that Jo is always with you and if by far the bright life to light up ????

Merry Christmas Jo, hope you're partying hard up there ????

Love Shannon, Mattie, Carter, Tommy & Jax xxx

You were the kindest Mum ever and so sad that you never lived to enjoy all your grand children.

We always love you and will forever miss you Mum. We always look up to the stars for you. One day we will be together again xxx

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.

You were always the organizer of our family Christmas and our first one this year without you will be the hardest to get through but we know you will be there celebrating with us and we will cherish our memories that will never fade. Forever in our hearts Mum.

Our first Christmas apart I miss you so much
Rest peacefully
