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.
Loved so very much, remembered every day.
You wasn’t just my grandad you was my dad and my best friend. I wish you could have met Freya and I wish I could call you and tell you all about her and our life. I know your here with me but I wish I could just hear your voice and see your face. I love you grandad and we will see each other again!
We love and treasure you both always
Miss you every day, Nan. Love you to the moon and back, always xxxx

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
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
We miss you & love you so much daddy xxx
So many special memories of such an amazing Mum xx
Dad
We miss your smiling face every day. Life is a little dimmer without you in it.
Love you always,

Love and miss you all so much xxxx
Sis always loved Christmas….. every year the seasonal decorations, lights and ornaments would fill her house with Christmas spirit. And every year all the family would be blessed with the most amazingly thoughtful gifts; Anne had a wonderful way of looking into your soul and knowing exactly what to spoil you with. But best of all, she was just good fun to be around.
Christmas isn’t the same now you’re not here but we’ll raise a cosmo to you again this year, dear sis, and enjoy all the happy memories of Christmas’ past.
Clarkey,
Christmas was always your favourite time and your presence is missed so much more at this time of the year. We will carry on celebrating you as you keep on watching over us. Always loved Forever missed xxxx
During my daughter’s life we would often attend events to raise money for St Barnabas not thinking that one day at age 30 she would receive amazing care from the hospice nurses. We miss her everyday but especially at Christmas when we all get together.
