I was devastated when I lost my baby boy, Ryan Garland, on 2nd Nov 2012. Your bear that honours Rhys, has been sitting, wrapped in a baby blanket with my baby boy Ryan’s papoose ever since I lost him. I get on with life, like we all do but at this time of year, around the date I lost Ryan, I allow myself time to recognise the trauma and sadness and loss, as well as finding special things, to add to his papoose, which honour or represent things that he could have found joy in today.
Every year I bring Ryan’s Papoose out…and every year Rhys’s bear is beside him. Your beautiful gift of a bear of hope helped me through a very dark and sad place. I am so very grateful for your kindness. Thank you for your bear of hope. Rhys has enabled me to share my story and hopefully give hope to others

To Nate’s mum and dad, I am sorry for your loss. And thank you for donating this bear in your baby’s honour. This was received in our box to take home, on Christmas Eve after I had our second baby born sleeping. It has become a true treasure, and is now cherished by our new 7 month old rainbow baby – it sits in her cot and I feel it is her brother watching over her.

Thank you to the family that donated this beautiful little bear to my husband and I in honour of your baby Zoe. We are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful little baby.

We lost our son Theo just before 26 weeks and received your bear in a beautiful little pack when we checked into the hospital on Wednesday 7/10/20.
Your little bear has been so special to us and was such a comfort to us during Theo’s birth and our stay in hospital.
Please know that we truly treasure this bear in loving memory of Zoe and your message of love and support has been so greatly appreciated by us during this time.

Thank you for the beautiful bear that provided comfort at such a sad time. It really helped to know we weren’t alone in our grief. We have since been blessed with our rainbow baby who we have named Thomas.
