The power of your support

This Christmas, Robert Palmer’s family will be honouring his memory and the care he received from Birmingham Hospice.  

The 72-year-old, affectionately called Bob, was a caring man who had shown determination to overcome several health problems during his life.  

Robert was struck by a silent heart attack in June this year and was told he would need end of life care.  

His wife, Denise, and daughter, Corina, were with Robert when he was taken to stay in our Inpatient Unit for round-the-clock care.  

“Although I knew I was going to lose him, it felt peaceful,” Denise said. “That’s one of the things the staff do so well at the hospice; they welcome and put you at ease.”  

Denise and Corina are looking ahead to their first Christmas without Robert.

“Dad absolutely loved Christmas, so it will to be a hard not to him with us, but we’re going to remember him by taking part in Birmingham Hospice’s Light up a Life.”
