Remembering Dad: Amanda's story

Amanda’s dad, Murray, was a kind, generous and thoughtful man. His glass was always half-full, and his family meant everything to him. Here, Amanda shares what hospice care and support meant to her family at the end of her dad’s life, and the significance of taking part in Moonlight Walk in his memory. Watch her story below…

“I’ve always been a bit of a daddy’s girl, and my dad used to always answer the phone saying: ‘Hello, light of my life’. When I went to the house, he would always be there, ready for a hug. He loved my mum to pieces, and we loved going down to the beach, having long walks with the dogs. He was a great family man, and we used to go away on superb holidays.

“Being so health conscious throughout his life, the pancreatic cancer diagnosis hit him hard. When he was sadly taken for the worse, the people at the Hospice were always there, ready to help us.

“My dad would have a hot chocolate in the reception area before going to reflexology, and all the people were just so lovely to him. Nothing was a no, and it was all done with so much dignity.

“At the end of his life, they would wheel my dad out in his bed just so he could see the sunshine in the garden.”

“It was amazing to be able to give something back at Moonlight Walk; we felt we were part of a bigger thing than just our family. It was incredible seeing so many different people dressed up and all there for one purpose, being there to raise as much awareness and money as possible for Hospice in the Weald. It didn’t matter how silly we all looked; it was just about being there collectively with everybody. My family and I will be doing it again this year.”
