I hope this gets to Paddy’s parents, but I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful baby… I know how incredibly life shattering it is to lose someone you were so excited to meet.

I’m currently in hospital due to losing our baby, and the wonderful nurse that had been looking after us brought in a Bears of Hope care package.

When I read what it was all about, held your baby’s teddy and read his name, I started to bawl. It truly made hubby and I feel less alone.

Thank you for giving us comfort in such a difficult time in such a precious way.

At the hospital when i lost my son

My partner and i received a lovely little bear and bag when we lost our beautiful son Leo on October 9th 2025.
To know that we were not alone in such a scary and overwhelming fog of grief, gave us comfort.
And knowing that little Arlo’s family are okay when it seemed i would never see light and happiness again, gave me the energy to endure and keep going.
Thankyou. xx

We experienced the heartbreaking loss of our precious boy, Spencer, at birth. In that moment of grief, we felt isolated, but we’ve found solace in realising we’re not alone. We are truly grateful for this beautiful bear in honour of Lana, and we will cherish it as a connection to our beloved Spencer ❤️.

We received our bear in honour of Robin Ralph (10/07/2023) from a dear friend after we lost our daughter Daisy on 24/09/2025. We are so thankful to have the resources and bear which we hold dearly. Thank you for all the work you do supporting families like ours. We are forever grateful

We received our first bear after the loss of our son

This bear was sent to us as a replacement for the bear we received after losing our son. Our daughter was a rainbow after our loss and since she was old enough to choose a toy she has consistently gravitated towards her Hopey Bear. She lost her bear and cried out for it for days, we were also really sad because we cuddled Hope for months on end after our boy. We reached out to Bears of Hope who sent this bear to replace her lost Hopey brother. Now we can honour little Amelia through our story and the love of our family.
