Remembering my parents & siblings, I miss you all so much xxxx

Always missed. Forever in our thoughts xxxx

Lots of happy memories sadly missed

Mum,
Missing you always not just at Christmas.
Love you forever ???? xxx

Wonderful memories of great times spent together. Adrenalin-fuelled planning, 'who' was coming and 'when'? Last minute shopping a certainty! The fraught stages of prep forgotten as the day filled with love, laughter, and good cheer. Remembered now with great love as that Christmas Table shrinks, albeit gradually.

Our first Christmas without you mum forever our queen
Miss you so much
Love you xxxx

Merry Christmas, Dad. I miss you so much, and love you more than you’ll know. Please keep sending us signs you’re still with us ❤️

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.

Constantly loved, forever remembered. Xx

Remembering my Dad who we lost in 2018. Christmas Day was his birthday.

Chris Watt – A second year without you Mum. Selfless to the end, you became an organ donor and continued to help others. Giving and caring in life and in death. We are proud to call you our mum and hope that you can watch over us. Miss you every single day. x

Remembering my wonderful Grandma and lovely Grandad. My Grandma who would drink Baileys glass after glass and then say “is Baileys non-alcoholic?” And my Grandad who would always crack open a bottle of wine the minute we stepped through the door. Merry Christmas my Angels x

Merry Christmas Pops
We love you and miss you every day.

Always in my heart. I miss you x

Our mum was an amazing woman who cared for everyone more than she ever did herself. At Barnabas was close to her heart as they looked after her dad before he died. We raised money for St Barnabas at my mums funeral 2 months ago and we know she would be so happy to see so much money go to a charity she loved so much. My mum was an amazing, caring and kind woman and she will be dearly missed for the rest of our lives.

Miss you more than words can say

Mum,
I can't express how much you are loved & missed daily. A shining star! I dedicate this light on the tree to your memory. ????

As you mentioned, when the fireworks go off across the season we will continue to think of you and your forever spirit (living on in us) remembering silly moments including you allowing swings on beams inside!

Always remembered, never forgotten, forever loved ❤️ missing and thinking of you both, like always Xx

Remembering you this Christmas as I do every day. Love and miss you
