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.

Anita was one of the kindest of people, always helping others

May the Light of Christ shine on all who are bereaved and missing their loved ones this Christmas.

The most courageous woman I have ever known. She was selfless, caring and thoughtful. I had the privilege of having her as my mum. I miss her greatly. She has left the biggest whole in our lives that can never be filled. Love you forever mum ❤

Died on Christmas day but never forgotten in life and death always a shining star

Getting engaged on Christmas Day, it was very emotional.

Dad, somehow it’s been a year since you passed. You live on in all our hearts and minds. I know you’re at peace now and look forward to the day we meet again. Until then keep looking down upon us all and know I will always do my best to make you proud. Love always Adam x

Thinking of you all, not only at Christmas but always. Xx

My mum was the best mum and friend I could have wished for. We laughed, we cried we were their for each other always. To loose such a wonderful person makes me realise how lucky I was to have you in my life. For that I will always be grateful. X

I love and miss you all. I think of you every day. x

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.

Remembering a much loved husband and father. Forever in our thoughts and hearts. Xx
