We lost our precious baby girl at 12w5d. She was so loved and so wanted. She was meant to be our miracle baby after battling years of infertility.
We received our Bear of Hope, which now sits on the little altar we’ve lovingly set up for our baby girl. It brings us a little comfort to have something tangible to hold close as we navigate life without her.
I wish we had never found ourselves part of this group, but here we are. Sending so much love and light to everyone walking through this unimaginable darkness, and to all the precious little lives gone far too soon. ❤️

We are so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your donation in honour of Lennox. We didn’t realise how much we needed this bear until we left the hospital without our son Noah who was born sleeping on 31/10/2026. We are eternally grateful for the comfort that the bears of hope has brought us.

We are so sorry for your loss, and thank you for donating a bear in honour of your baby Blair Willow Riley.
At our final check up we were told that our baby girl, Isla Mae Elliss, no longer had a heart beat and she was still born at 38 weeks and 5 days on September 25th 2026. She was our first baby. My pregnancy was low risk throughout with no complications, so it was a major shock to us both. After Isla was delivered via a c section, we were able to spend 3 days in hospital with her as they provided us with a cuddle cot. Isla weighed 2.635kg and was 48cm long. She was the most perfect little baby with a cute button nose and fair hair. We miss her everyday and wish we could have walked out of the hospital with her in our arms.
I hope this message reaches the parents of Blair Willow Riley and thank you again for donating a bear for us to hold.

We received this bear in honour of Louis Byron this morning after welcoming our baby boy Bauer George 30/10/2026 who was born sleeping. On this hard day this bought a smile to our faces. Thankyou

After the loss of our firstborn via hospital brochure.
Lakey was born and passed just days before our firstborn angel son Oliver, and almost exactly a year before our second angel son Teddy. ‘Teddy’ teddy, thanks to Lakey’s memory, became my husband’s treasured item. I wouldn’t share my first bear so in a bittersweet way, now having two, means my husband has his own special connection which wouldn’t be possible without sweet Lakey.

Our beautiful baby girl was born sleeping on October 20th 2026.
This is a heartbreaking journey, one that no one should endure.
Our bears are so much more than just teddy bears. It is a reminder that our daughter’s life mattered.
We will treasure our Bears of Hope, knowing that it carries with it so much love, compassion and understanding from one grieving family to another.
Thank You
With love,
C&C.

Hi! Im Kiarnni, on the 24th of may I unexpectedly lost my 4th little girl Lucy at 16+1. The thought of walking out of the hospital empty armed and returning to my 3 other earth side babies ( 2,3.& 4 ) was daunting. Until I was given a bag with a beautiful bears of hope bear. who stays inside Lucy’s cabinet near her urn and who my girls sleep with, talk to and bring along to our adventures that Lucy should be joining us on. I wish connecting with another family was in better circumstances but I hope you know how greatful I am and how much receiving your bear meant. Thank you ❤️

Our family is now forever tied to bears of hope due to the medical termination of our little boy at 15 weeks gestation.
We unexpectedly fell pregnant during my 7 year old daughter’s leukaemia diagnosis. We accepted the pregnancy, became excited and were looking forward to an exciting new chapter in April once we returned home in January after finishing my daughter’s intensive treatment. But my daughter had genetic testing done and we had an unexpected finding. A gene mutation PTPN11, better know as Noonan Syndrome. Long story short it can be a spontaneous mutation or inherited and once again unfortunately it was inherited from my partner. That when the testing for baby boy began as it’s 50/50 whether a child inherits or doesn’t. Our bay boy bit and living the worst statistic of Noonan Syndrome (increased risk of cancer) we made the difficult decision to medically terminate. Our hearts are broken but our love will never be for our baby boy.

Today we found out we lost our little baby! This is our second silent miscarriage and it hurts all the same. I am grateful for my beautiful almost 2 year old, and I know our newest angel baby will continue to look after us from above!
