Thank you so much, this bear gives me so much comfort after our loss. I’m a mum of 2 (4&7) and this was my partner’s first biological child but unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage that wasn’t picked up for weeks which left me needing a D&C, with an infection requiring IV antibiotics and internal bleeding but this gift has helped myself and my partner so much, thank you! 💗

We lost our precious baby Jay born sleeping at 21 weeks in Jan 2024. We were linked in with bears of hope at the time but only received a bear for Jay’s first birthday just gone. To the family of Arlo – we will forever think of your baby boy in the stars alongside Jay. We have found endless strength and courage from knowing we are not alone, and from learning how to parent a child from afar and keep their memory alive from those who have walked this path before us.

‘Levi’s Bear’ has given me more comfort than you can imagine. I bought my daughter the same bear and in makes me feel like my son is still with us. Please thank your Emerson for us. I hope Levi and Emerson can find each other in Heaven

Thank you for this gift. It has brought us some comfort during this painful time. We lost our Benjamin at 14 weeks, although we did not find out until 17 weeks. Also thinking of you and your Harvey during this time. Sending love and prayers. Benjamin- forever loved and always in our hearts.

I was extremely sad to lose my first pregnancy in the middle of my first trimester, it took a while to sink in and when I called the Bears of Hope line a couple of months later, I just sobbed down the phone.

 

Thank you for my little bear, it is a sweet source of comfort and hope.

We received this bear today after it was confirmed we had lost the baby we had long dreamed of and tried for. Receiving it was an acknowledgement that even though we were early in the process that this loss was real, and our grief is real.

 

Thank you for giving me something to hold onto in this time. Thinking of your lost little one also.

Thank you for our bear, it has been a comfort to know there are those who have treaded the path before us.

 

Having something tangible to take home has been a real help.

We made a gut wrenching decision to terminate our pregnancy in 16 weeks for medical reasons. Besides the best support from hospital and it’s caring staff, Bears of Hope helped understand that we are not alone and we can help someone like us get through these painful moments.

Very thoughtful of Cassandra Chivers, Social Worker at Westmead Hospital who provided extra bears for my other two kids. They held them tight thinking it’s from their angel brother ‘Aster’.

Forever thankful to everyone involved in getting us through this tough time.
