We would like to thank Ivy’s family for passing on their support through the bears of hope package. Something I didn’t realise I needed till I received it 🤍

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for donating this beautiful bear through Bears of Hope in memory of your precious baby.

No parent ever wants to be part of this club, but your kindness has brought comfort to our family during the darkest time of our lives. Knowing this bear carries the love and legacy of your little one makes it even more special.

Our beautiful son, Mahlu, will always be loved and forever missed. We will treasure this bear as a reminder that, even in heartbreak, families like yours choose to spread love and hope to others.

We are holding your baby and your family close in our hearts too. ❤️‍🩹🥹

I don’t recall if I wrote on this guestbook back in October 2023 when I had my miscarriage, but I came across my bear again today and it gives me a heartwarming feeling to know that I have this bear now to remind me of the time I got to hold my baby in my belly before their life was unfortunately cut short. I am grateful to the Sherar family for donating the bear.

Dear Florence’s parents,

Thank you so much for donating this beautiful bear in Florence Amanda’s honour. I recently lost my precious son, Te Awa, and receiving this bear has brought me so much comfort during such a heartbreaking time.

Although I never had the privilege of knowing Florence, her memory is living on through your incredible kindness. Your thoughtful gift has reminded me that even in the deepest grief, there is love and compassion connecting bereaved families.

I will treasure this bear always and keep the bear in our sons memorial cupboard. Thank you for sharing Florence’s legacy with us. Sending you so much love as we both carry our beautiful babies in our hearts forever.
