So "Happy Xmas" and love to you all.

Love Mitchell, Peggy and Gavin .

My mum spent her last moments in st barnabas and I am so grateful for the care they provided her and were able to give us those last special moments with her. All staff were amazing. I have no words that would forever show how incredible the place is!

Merry Christmas Skali I hope you’ll be drinking wine and dancing.
Always thinking of you and miss you loads.

Christmas will never be the same without my darling husband at my side. Sorely missed and never forgotten.

So many words…so much love. You are both very much in our hearts xxx

Remembering my wonderful Grandma and lovely Grandad. My Grandma who would drink Baileys glass after glass and then say “is Baileys non-alcoholic?” And my Grandad who would always crack open a bottle of wine the minute we stepped through the door. Merry Christmas my Angels x

Mum passed away in March, just 7 weeks after celebrating her 100th birthday with a small party and her precious card from the Queen.

Christmas will be very different and you will be sadly missed by the family, but we have lots of happy memories to share ????

Love Lynne, Tim, Ruth, Ed, Rebecca x

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.

In loving memory of our darling son Jack. It’s now the 4th Christmas without you and it still hurts so much. We love and miss you everyday Jack from Mum and Dad xx

Auntie Gail,
Missing you every single day, lots of love from Lily x

My sister was my best friend, we did everything together, we were often mistaken for twins.
She passed away in 2006 and that day part of my heart broke.
Steph is missed so much, every day x

Merry Christmas grandma and grandad Caithness hope you are proud of us all!

Mum,
This will be the second Christmas without you and it doesn't get any easier. I heard someone say that you only miss someone when you think about them and I think about you every day.
I know you're watching over us.
Sending you lots of love
Julie xxxx
