RACHAEL WAS THE PERFECT DAUGHTER, SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL, COMPASSIONATE AND WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE. I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE BEEN HER FATHER.

Love and miss you always

They say that time is a great healer but as the years pass I miss you more.You were both so very dear to me . You made my heart lighter ,my life brighter. My memories will never fade but I’d give the world for just one more hug.

Merry Christmas Dad and Nan you're both spending Christmas together in heaven but we know you're keeping an eye on us. We'll raise a glass to you this season of cheer but still shed a tear missing having you here.

My Gran was the kindest person I knew. She would do anything for me and I would do anything for her. She was lucky to receive the amazing care that she did from the hospice and I miss her so much

Remembering my husband, Roger, and my two sons, Pete and Jamie who all loved Christmas. I miss them sooo much at this time of the year. Roger died in the loving and kind care of Lincoln St Barnabas Hospice.

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.

Gran,

This is the first Christmas without you. Will always love you and miss you everyday. When anything happens, you’re the first person I want to call and for a brief second, I forget I can’t.
I sponsored this light as it helps to keep you shining. You’ll be shining outside the Cathedral. Remember when you came up for my graduation and we pushed you over the cobbles. I will always remember your laugh that day.
Love you forever
