Happy Christmas Mum, I still miss you every day and as Christmas comes round once again it reminds me how much I miss seeing you in your musical Santa hat and how much laughter we shared. Enjoy your Christmas with Nanna and Grandad. Love you always xx

Pete – missing you on what will be my 1st Christmas without you. Last Xmas the lovely ladies from St Barnabas came and made you comfortable and brought cheer on a dark day. Love and miss you ????

Remembering Margaret and Vince Doran, my partner Angela’s Mum and Dad, in her first Christmas without both of them

Spending every Christmas with you since I was born, remembering it’s not what’s under the Christmas tree, it’s who's around it that matters.
We Love you always you’re little soldier Oliver and little princess Isabella.

Miss you grandpa x x x

This will be the first Christmas without Rob, having been together for 52 years. He was lucky enough to spend his last 4 days in your hospice which I will be forever thankful. Keep up the good work St Barnabas, your amazing.

Always in our thoughts and missed every day.

Mum,
Missing you always not just at Christmas.
Love you forever ???? xxx

I love and miss you all. You are all still in my heart and thoughts.

Missing you Mum. Love always, Lindsey, Marcus, Ben and Scarlett xxxx

Your light is shining forever

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.

JUST WISHING YOU WERE STILL HERE TO SHARE OUR MEMORIES TOGETHER

Remembering my much loved husband , so sadly missed and thought about every day , I will love you forever and never forget you , sleep in heavenly peace my angel ……. Your Jackie ???????????? xxxx

My Dad passed away in 1997. He was an incredible man and a complete inspiration as he was also diabetic since he was 11. This never stopped him doing anything. He was a Scout leader for many years! Still miss him and love him loads. ❤️

Mum,
Another Christmas approaches without you, after you were so abruptly taken from our lives and our world was shattered. Let this light shine for you and be a lasting memory of the beautiful, stunning, kind soul that you were. Let this light be a mark of your time here on earth, and for the love and memories you gave us. You were quite simply unforgettable to anyone who met you.
I love and miss you Mum, with every piece of my broken heart.
Forever my Mum, Forever your little Girl.
Until we meet again x

This is the first Christmas without you dad, we all miss you and love you so much!
