To the Morgan family, thank you for this kind and special gift. I hope that your hearts have been able to heal, but understand the hole that will always exist. We have two beautiful daughters, we were pregnant with our third and had an unexpected miscarriage at 12w. Our girls didn’t know about the baby, but have loved the bear dearly, it really lifted our spirits and I smile whenever I see it as it’s brought happiness and joy. We live rural so there were some logistical challenges with our loss. Having never experienced a loss before, I now have such a deep appreciation and understanding for all parents who too sadly share this journey. I hope you’re all doing well. Thank you for being brave and sharing your loss with us. We hope you’re in a good space now xx

Currently dealing with the loss of our first pregnancy. Although we feel unsettled about whether loss will continue in our future, the community of families dealing with the same thing makes us feel less alone.

My partner, Tanvir and I lost our baby boy Zafeer to stillbirth on 14th May 2023.

This beautiful little bear “Sophie” sat next to our baby and kept him warm and gave him company while he slept in the hospital waiting for his autopsy the next day. Sophie was there with him when we could not be. The hospital nurses took some beautiful pictures of my sleeping baby boy and Sophie bear next to each other and I am glad I have these memories of my son. I am also grateful for the chance to cuddle Sophie bear when I miss my son. The nurses also attached my baby’s hospital wristband to Sophie’s hand when they gave me all his clothes and towels in his cuddle cot.

So thank you to Sophie’s family and I am so so sorry for your loss as well.

We lost our baby, nicknamed “ciabatta”, at 11.5 weeks. This was our first miscarriage and a heartbreaking and horrible experience. Your bear brought little light into our darkness. Thank you xo

My perfect first baby died during labour at 39+4 after an entirely uneventful and low risk pregnancy. We walked into hospital, in labour, thinking it was going to be the happiest day of our lives, only for it to be the worst. Our entire world was irreparably shattered on the morning of 4 November 2021.

We were able to spend time with our beautiful little boy – Rory Heath Morris – thanks to a BOH cuddle cot. We got to bring Rory home for two days so family and friends could meet and hold him. We are so grateful for the precious gift of time with our boy, all because of the generosity of other families who have experienced this awful pain.

We did not receive a bear in hospital, we did receive a keepsake book (in memory of Bailey Antoni). I decided to raise funds for BOH for a Cuddle Cot, Bears and Keepsake Books. BOH reached out and sent me a bear with Flora’s name, which proudly sits on our “Rory shelf”. I’ve cuddled Flora’s teddy and it has brought me comfort in some of my darkest hours. Thank you, from Rory’s Mum xxx

Hello,
I’m not sure how to start this letter but I just want to say I am so sorry about your babies. I will forever think our babies are playing together. When we lost our little bean on the 21st of May 2023 and I was given your bear I felt so comforted knowing that somewhere out there our babies are playing together. I really do feel that this bear was meant for me. I have Williams in my family and seeing your family name gave my such goosebumps I couldn’t get rid of. The back of my hairs always stand up when I remind myself. I am so appreciative that this bear came to me at place where I am so lost. I hope your future was kind to you because you deserve all the happiness in the world. My fiancé and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for donating this beautiful bear that I can always hold. I hope one day we walk pass each other and get the sense that we know each other in someway. I will always think of you and your babies.
