Please take a moment to read Christopher’s Sobell Story, told to us by his wife, Jeanne, who has dedicated a flower on our Memory Tree in Christopher’s memory. 🩷
‘In January, we noticed a lump on Christopher’s neck. A biopsy revealed that it was too late for treatment, and that his cancer diagnosis was terminal. It was devastating news, but through it all we relied on our faith and our deep love for each other to get through it. We accepted the journey we were on, knowing that every moment we had left was a gift.
During Christopher’s illness, Sobell House became a lifeline to us. It was a place of peace and comfort, and the nurses, compassionate people who attended to Christopher’s needs, were beyond remarkable. Their dedication was truly something special and they were more than caregivers. To us, they were family.
In Christopher’s memory, I’ve dedicated a flower on the Memory Tree at Sobell House. Christopher was kind, loving, and gentle: qualities that defined him as a person, and I wanted to honour that with a simple message.
Visiting the hospice now fills me with gratitude. It’s a place that gave us comfort when we needed it most. It’s a place that not only cares for those who are dying but also for the families who walk alongside them. I’ve been blessed by the care we received, and I know that the hospice continues to provide that same love and support to others in need.’
