Missed so much on our first Christmas without you x

A very special Wife, Mum and Nanna, who is missed more than she will ever know, two beautiful girls have joined us since you left us but we know you are with them every step of the way love you and miss you always. Sleep tight and sweet dreams.

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.

My Dad Tony was supported by the wonderful team at St Barnabas during his last years of life. Just like the Tree of Life, Dad lit up the room wherever he was and was funny, inspiring and always positive about everything. We miss him dearly xx

Our beautiful parents, always
remembered, always loved! Xx

Sadly missed and fondly remembered by all of her loved ones.

Gill, the most caring mother, wife, nanna and friend. Your love and encouragement shown to all of us are our strength and encouragement to do the very best for you, "Do it for nanna", as you say. We all miss you so much. We love you for ever.
Kevin, Claire, Stuart, Jess, Rosie, Jayden Jacob, Heidi and Brett

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.

Mum, the biggest, brightest star in the sky, always & forever. Love you x x
