Sending all the very best wishes at this time of year to all the caring staff who work and volunteer for the charity. I remember with much fondness the Hospice at Home team who cared, not only, for my wife but the whole family. God bless them all.

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.
To My Dear little Mum Annie, and Wonderful Partner Jamie, losing you both so close together left me devastated and heartbroken but I know the Strength of love between us will never die, you will both live on in my heart forever. Merry Christmas my Angels.xxxx
Every year I have a light to in memory of my Queen, my Nan. I love you lots and miss you dearly. Also this year I lost my fabulous Uncle Mick who was always there for me and my girls. This light is for you too. Love Sarah, Scott, Lilly and Poppy xx
I miss you so much mum I love you to the moon and back always ???????????? – your little cupcake mairead????????????
Both my husband and mum passed away in February 2022. Both received amazing care at the hospice as did I. Thank you x
Today as most days we think of all our loved ones that we have loved and lost and it allows us to represent your life through light and your lights will shine bright as did your life.
Today also allows us to grieve for you our Beanie Boo, We felt so lucky to have created you and the day I lost you my heart broke. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet but we love you with all our heart and you have left a footprint on my heart. Love you always love Mummy and Daddy xxx
Life's too short
