Dear Dad,
Each day I miss you and wish you were here
But how blessed am I to have so many precious memories that keep you near.
I listen for you in the music we enjoyed and shared
And, even though a tear may fall, my spirits are lifted and I know you're not far away at all.
Love you Dad – always.

A loving husband, dad & grandad. Missed everyday & forever in our hearts xxxxx

Wonderful parents, both cared for by St Barnabas at home
Gone but never forgotten

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.

Merry Christmas Grandma! We miss you and love you.

I love you with all my heart . I miss you so much

The world is a better place because of her. She lit up all of our lives like a million Christmas lights.
In our hearts at Christmas and every day, forever x

Beautiful people , sorely missed. May their light shine on.

A much loved brother after a long illness, a dear friend who took his own life, and a dearest friend who was taken far too early, and very quickly. St Barnabas supported her in her final days, thank you x

Missing you again on another Christmas. Will be thinking of you all at this special time as I do every day xx

You will always be remembered but Christmas will never be the same without. You loved Christmas and we will continue to keep it a happy, fun and a lovely family day! Miss you always ❤️

To the brightest star in the sky. I miss you finishing your Christmas shopping in July and moaning about how ‘it’s all this for one day!’ until December 25th. I know you’re looking over us all on this special year and raising a Bacardi & Coke to the next. Lots of love, Lauren xx

Miss you as always. Love from all of us xxx

In memory of Phil. A much loved & missed husband, Dad & Grandad.
Love always xxx
