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.

We miss you more each day.
Love you loads.

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

You are dearly missed, may you forever rest in peace. We love you both

Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you, your laugh and your smile. We miss you so much but we know that you are now lighting up the sky with your smile and the stars shine brighter now you’ve joined them – i love you nanny ????

Thinking of our very special Stephen with fondest love, missed but will never be forgotten x

The best Mum I could ever have wished for.

Always remembered xxx

Remembering my lovely Dad, a very special man who is missed every day but especially at this time of year.

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

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

My wife passed away over four years ago. She had dementia and later cancer. She is with me every day and missed by so many. She was looked after in her final seven weeks at home with help from St Barnabas.

Miss my lovely Mummy so much this time of the year Christmas just isn't the same without you.
Love you Mummy ❤️
ALWAYS

Merry Christmas Grandad ♥️ Miss you always ♥️
