"Losing a loved one"

To the Staff of Glasgow Royal Infirmary,

After taking some time to grieve the loss of my wife, Barbara, I would now like to extend my deepest thanks to the incredible team who cared for her during her battle with pancreatic cancer.

From Mr. Dickson’s team to the nursing and healthcare staff—thank you. Your professionalism, dedication, and kindness did not go unnoticed. Barbara’s passing came sooner than we expected, and she sadly died on Ward 64.

I would especially like to thank the nurses who cared for her on her final evening and the night before—Leanna and Eilidh. Not only did you provide impeccable care to Barbara, but the empathy, warmth and compassion you extended to my son and me was truly extraordinary. In those final, difficult moments, the compassion shown to our family was a comfort I can never fully express in words. You embody everything that makes a nurse exceptional, and you are both tremendous assets to your ward.

With sincere gratitude, Barbara’s Family
