You are missed so much by so many

Always in my heart ❤️

It’s two years since I lost my dear husband and I miss him every day.

My mum and Dad always made Xmas time so special for us and I would love to keep the Christmas spirit alive for them with the twinkling lights on the memory tree.. also for our baby son Jack born sleeping
Remembering my good friend Dawn who spent her last weeks in the wonderful care of st Barnabas xxx

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.

remembered with much love

In Memory of my beautiful sister, she sadly lost her brave and courageous battle against cancer nearly 6 years ago. She loved Christmas with her Family.

Always remembered

Another Christmas without you.
Missing you both.

Remembering a wonderful husband, dad,grandad and great grandad. Loved and missed forever by us all. When a robin pops in sight we know you are with us xx.

Barrie used to pretend he wasn't bothered about Christmas but deep down I know he did, being close to family and all the grandchildren is what made him the happiest, miss him and his silly ways so much and always will.

Jules was one our GIRLS. Sadly now only 6 of us now. She was a beautiful person & a joy to be with. Very proud to call her my friend.

My Grandma was the bravest and absolute best person in the world. Gave the best cuddles and advice and I hope I am making her proud every day.

Missing you both so much.happy Christmas xx

Merry Christmas dad always in our hearts x
