Remembering Julie and Hayley with love.
Colin and Maureen Nicholson

We never did much to celebrate at Christmas, treating it as any other day really. However, this will be first Christmas without you and I’m expecting it to be difficult, as it is was at the time of our anniversary and birthdays.
We shared so many special times.
Happy heavenly Christmas my darling ????????????

Grandma and Grandad; a duo, a pair, a double act. We miss you so much, but will think of you shining brightly. Our two stars together again x

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

Our first Christmas without you Oddy…. But our memories and love for you will never fade.

Dearest Mum,

I miss you more than words can say
I miss you every minute of every day
I struggle to cope and understand
And wish that you could hold my hand
And help me through this time of struggle
And give me a kiss and a cuddle.
I hope and pray that once again
You are reunited with your beloved Jim.
I will do my best to make you proud
And always say your name out loud.
I will remember your words of support and advice,
And loving memories will always be part of my life.
I love you now, forever and always.

Love you loads
Linda xx????????

Dad, you were the best. Think of you each and every day.

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.
