We received a bear at Royal Hospital for Women, Randwick

Comments

We received a Sophie Bear following the birth and passing of our son Baby Ste Murphy, on 21 July 21. I clung to the bear leaving the hospital and many times since. It has brought some comfort knowing we were not alone in this nightmare and filled my arms when they felt beyond empty.
Thank you to Samsons family for donating a bear and we are honoured to have our sons connected in this way.
From our family to yours,
Laura, Ste & Fiadh Murphy

At the most heartbreaking moment of me and my partners lives the bear Darcy Chase came and gave us hope and support.

I miscarried over the weekend during a covid lockdown in our region. I went to hospital on the Monday to get checked out and left in a daze with a bag in hand. When I got home I was greeted by my husband and 2 little ones. We sat on the couch for lots of cuddles, a cup of tea and a chat about the appointment.
The next day hubby went to work and the kids and I opened our bears of hope bag. I cried and felt less “alone” in this experience. What an unexpected, wonderful gift to receive in such a time of grief. Our baby and bear have the first name we had picked out for him. Our 3 yr old daughter is looking after that bear beautifully.
We have donated a bear of hope for another family and send our love, strength and wish for comfort in their time of grief.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to little Sophie’s family, we wish you all the happiness in the world.
