This was our second miscarriage and the moment the hospital handed me the care pack and I found the bear inside I broke down even more knowing I am not alone in this feeling.

The bear has a special spot in our house! Thank you for donating him and it being my comfort in our heartbreak.

Thankyou for your kind donation. It will be a treasured possession for the rest of my life after the loss of my baby. Your kindness at this really hard time is so appreciated and has helped me to not feel quite as alone as I do every day at the moment. Im so sorry for your loss too. Knowing there are others out there that have experienced similar things and still want to show others kindness helps more than you know. Every day is hard knowing ill never hold my child but I now have my bear and while its not the same it still brings me some peace. Thankyou more than words can say. Sending you love

My mum sews angel gowns so I had heard about Bears of Hope through discussions about other services for loss parents, but learnt more about what you do when we received a bear and used a donated Bears of Hope cuddle cot after the loss of our daughter.

Thinking of Scout’s parents whilst we grieve the loss of our beautiful baby girl, Stella. No parent should ever have to experience a loss so profound. We are so sorry you know this pain too ❤️

I had a difficult pregnancy with Joshua due to a sub chorionic haematoma that caused me to bleed heavily from week 11 to when he was born. Joshy was tiny but mighty, he was very determined to overcome the haematoma, but unfortunately it (the clot) was just too big and on the evening of 19 Jan 2025 Joshy became quite distressed in utero and my medical team recommended emergency c section. Joshy showed his sheer determination, and despite being only 462 grams held on in NiCU for 3 days. On the 22nd Jan, the medical team informed us in there clincal words that went over my head- he was just too tiny and had succumbed to sepsis and pulmonary hypotension and we made the heartbreaking decision to give him a cuddle and say our final goodbyes. We never received a Bears of Hope bear, so some months after our loss, I bought a bear for myself, which my 5 year old, Stephen then claimed haha! Stephen sleeps with the bear every night and wishes Joshua was here as much as we do. I do give the bear a cuddle sometimes too. Thank you bears of hope for all that you do xx

Your Angel Bear has been well cuddled and gets adventures.
It has become my Kolty Angel Bear. It has become my emotional support bear and goes on adventures with me because thats all I hoped to do with my babes.
I lost my boy Koltyn Daniel Watson Hayes on 19-12-25 at 15 days old from an unknown infection. I hope our babes have become friends and going on their own adventures together too.

We lost our baby girl Ava at 24 weeks old, 13.03.2026. A family member gave us a bear and package full of recourses and it meant so much to me and my family. I’ll be lighting a candle for baby Santiago 13/05. The bear sits with Ava who is now home with us.

If this reaches baby Santiago’s family, I’m sorry for the loss of your precious baby. Thank you for giving my family comfort at the time of ours ❤️
