A Day in the Life of...

a Weldmar Community Nurse, Sarah Goom

Like many organisations, Weldmar Hospicecare’s usual working practices had
to be significantly adapted when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. Our dedicated team
of Weldmar Community Nurses continue to provide a vital service to patients
and their loved ones across Dorset. WCN Sarah Goom, who marks ten years at
Weldmar in 2020, has recorded a typical day…

Supporter donations…

The support of the Dorset community throughout the Covid-19 pandemic
has been amazing, and we can’t thank everyone enough for your kind
donations! Schools and local manufacturers made masks, crafty
individuals produced everything from scrubs and laundry bags to knitted
teddies and hearts, we’ve been sent children’s pictures and rainbows, and
chocolate and other treats for our team. Here are just some of the items
that arrived at our Inpatient Unit in Dorchester through the lockdown…

also wrote the poem that features on the card. Where wild and gentle can coexist.

Her cancer diagnosis prompted a life changing decision. “I had

months of chemotherapy, fifteen radiation treatments, and I was
finally feeling back to normal! I was able to set up a painting proceeds going to Weldmar Hospicecare
studio in Bridport, which was my life long dream. The dreadful
experience had made me appreciate everything in life so much
more – I could see the beauty in everything, and I was so much
more grateful for all I had and had ever had in my life – especially
the beauty of Dorset.”

“If I hadn’t had the cancer, I might have carried on being a
graphic designer. Instead, I was able to live out my hopes and
dreams and it was the happiest year of my life.”

During her first diagnosis, she attended many Reiki sessions at
Symondsbury Manor Yard, and the majestic sight of Colmer’s
Hill greeted her after each session, which became a signal of her
regaining her health. Her children were just about big enough to
climb all the way to the top, and she says, “Our family has always
had an affinity with the outdoors, especially drawn to the rugged,
wild coastal places, in contrast to the softness of the beautiful
bluebell woods and the green rolling hills of Dorset.”

“The painting was something of a happy accident, hence the
name! I normally paint seascapes, but I was experimenting with
some green colours, and then came some foxgloves. I started at
the bottom, and by the time I got to the top, it was Colmer’s Hill!
So I added the trees and there you go! It was as if it painted itself
by magic.”

Ellie has donated the artwork and poem to us for a greetings
card, and she said she wants to give something back for the
incredibly generous care that she has received at the hospice.

“The nurses here are absolutely wonderful, they are so brave.
I was in so much pain, I was literally crying out in my sleep,
they never left my side until my pain was under control. They
taught me breathing exercises and I have had daily reflexology
and acupuncture. They were able to lift me, in to comfortable
positions and soon had a plan to completely manage my pain.
I have never felt so well cared for in my life and it is genuine
kindness – I had no idea that a place as wonderful as this could
exist!”

Serendipity on Colmer’s Hill is available to buy at
weld-hospice.org.uk, with all proceeds to Weldmar
Hospicecare. We thank Ellie, Russ, Daisy and Poppy for
the generosity of donating this to us, and to her and her
family for sharing their story.
