Listening to the experiences of other families can offer valuable insight into the challenges they face and the impact of St Michael’s support.
With their kind permission, we are honoured to share a selection of stories from families we have helped.
Family Stories
In this touching collection of stories, families open up about the compassionate care their loved ones received at St Michael’s Hospice. They share how the dedicated team provided comfort, dignity, and support during life’s most precious final moments.

These deeply personal accounts showcase the incredible impact of hospice care—not just for patients, but for the loved ones left behind. 💙
