Loving dad, grandad, friend to many so sorely missed.

In my bungalow there is a space
Where there’s an empty chair
Where my husband Jim used to sit
But he is no longer there.
I miss you Jim.

Dad,
Our lives will never be the same again, without you in it.
You were the best. We will love you forever and never forget the memories we had together.
I miss you. Xxxx

Always loved and remembered by all your family xxx

This will be the first Christmas without Rob, having been together for 52 years. He was lucky enough to spend his last 4 days in your hospice which I will be forever thankful. Keep up the good work St Barnabas, your amazing.

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

My Dad spent his last days in the hospice and I will always remember the kindness of the staff towards not only my Dad but the whole family xx

You are missed so much Markus
Thought about every day
Love you lots Simon Kerry and family xxx

Never gave up fighting.All ways in my heart ❤️

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 so much Dad.
Love you always xxx

Dear dad, I know Christmas was your favourite holiday of the year and I always find it the most hard. I have some amazing Christmas memories with you and wish we could make more . I hope you’re safe up there, I love you always, Rosie.

Merry Christmas mum I miss you so so much more than ever forever love,
your little miss sunshine ❤️ ❤️

My father died at the age of 39 and my sister at 19 and despite these tragedies, my mother lived to the age of 84. They are always in my thoughts. I have had the good fortune to have lived just over twice as long as my dad and just over four times longer than my sister!

Remembering those we lost and loved. Miss you all lots.

In loving memory of Dad.

Miss you so much

With all of our love
