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.
Happy Christmas Mum! Shine bright we love and miss you eternally. Love John, Amy and boys xxxx

To all my family and friends I miss you all so much, if I could turn back the clock today I would have you all back now, their's never a day go's by without thinking about you all lots of luv Tracy xx
Dad 18 months has past without you. As Christmas creeps up there is a empty feeling and it isn’t the same because you are gone. You are so missed every single say and so loved. You didn’t deserve to go. Until we meet again. I love you so much, shine bright xxxxxxx
My mum, an incredibly bright, intelligent, strong & kind woman who placed helping others above and beyond herself. She is my inspiration and I continue to grieve each and every day. There are no words that can express just how much I miss you mum.
There are no words to say how much I miss you, and especially at this time of year on our first Christmas without you. You always made Christmas so magical for us growing up and I’m trying to do the same for the girls, after all I was taught by the best, but without you every day is tinted with a little grey
Merry Christmas mum, I love you xxxx
Remembering my parents & siblings, I miss you all so much xxxx
Thinking of you at this special time of year. Our second year without you.
I miss you very much.
Happy heavenly Christmas
Love from
Toke

SHE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE AN ANGEL
