My mum was a loving mother, mother in law and nana who is missed so much. My mum dedicated her life caring for us all and for others as she worked caring for the sick and elderly. St Barnabas hospice looked after her in her last few days which was greatly appreciated by us all. Please keep up the great work you do everyday. Love to you all this Christmas time xxx

Merry Christmas Grandad. We are missing you lots but I hope you have a beer in your hand watching down. Its not the same without you here. Love you always our hero.
Love Zara xx

I love you so much and will forever miss you. Life will never be the same for me and the family.

My dear Mum would have been celebrating her 90th birthday on 26th November. She loved Christmas and it was her favourite time of year.

Forever in my thoughts. Love you sweetheart

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 lost you but forever in my heart. My little Pixie is dancing in heaven. X x

We miss you and Marion everyday, hope you're not arguing up there! Maisie's still looking after Peggy x

Sending love to you all, Merry Christmas. Wish we were all around the table again, together xxxx

Dad, we all miss you as much, and more, today as the day you left us. Life just isn’t the same without you in it. Love you so much xxxxx

thank you for sharing many happy Christmases and being so inspiring

Dad loved Christmas. He was like a big kid, excited to get the Christmas lights up each year. I love the idea of a light in his memory on this big Christmas Tree – it is so him. I miss you Dad xxx

Emily and Finley would like to remember their nanny, who sadly passed away from cancer in February this year. Special thank you to St Barnabas hospice in Lincoln who looked after her for her final weeks ????

Emily and Finley would like to remember their Grumps, who sadly passed away suddenly in January this year. Special thank you to Lincoln hospital intensive care who looked after him ????

Our first Christmas without you Dad, so very missed every day and always with so much love from us all xxx

My dad passed away 15 days ago at home with me holding his hand. I can not thank St Barnabas hospice home care enough for how they looked after my dad in his final week and how they supported me also. So much care and empathy from the nurses that tended to my dad. I will forever be grateful. Thank you
