Celebrating the lives and memories of loved ones.
Our 2025 Lights of Love campaign received hundreds of dedications in memory of a loved one. Our online dedication page will be left open for the next year. If you would like to take a look at any of the heartfelt messages, click the button below.
Each year, the lives and memories of cherished loved ones are celebrated with Lights of Love.
Among the loved ones remembered is Jenny Robson, a beloved mum-of-two and wife, who died last November.
Jenny, 50, was cared for by our In-patient Unit Team following news her cancer had returned. “That last week with Jenny at St Richard’s was, bizarrely, a nice week,” remembers her husband, Andy, who lives in Fladbury with their daughter, Holly.
“I remember the hospice being peaceful and calm. Nothing was too much effort. The first day she was at the hospice, I left feeling happy that she was in a good place and she was safe.”
Jenny’s family – including Holly, eight, and 21-year-old son Ben who lives in London – enjoyed a fish-and-chip takeaway together from the comfort of her hospice room.
Friends visited and spent quality time with her, while Holly could explore our gardens. Support continued after Jenny died, helping Holly through her grief.
Holly received regular support from Lucy in our Family Support Team and attended our Dragonflies group, where she met other children in a similar situation.
“Dragonflies allowed Holly to know she wasn’t alone,” says Andy. “It helped her cope with what was going on. Initially, she didn’t want to talk about it but slowly we started looking at photos of Jenny and doing other things to remember her mum. Holly genuinely likes coming to the hospice and it has become a little bit of a sanctuary which is associated with Jenny. The hospice provides an invaluable service.”
