I wanted to say thank you for this little bear. As someone who found out she was pregnant and that it was ectopic, all within the space of 8hours; my mind didn’t really have time to process what was going on. This little bear, was the perfect little thing to bring in my bag, through all the blood tests and further hospital appointments.

From our family to yours we share our deepest condolences at the loss of your dear Ava. We hope that by seeing this message you and your family will take comfort in the fact that Ava’s memory lives on in this beautiful bear. We may not have our baby Eliyah to hold right now (she would be 1 on 29th June) but we will hold this bear tightly in those moments of overwhelming sadness.
Thinking your family and sending you love and light. In loving memory of Ava May and Eliyah Blu xxx

Thank you for donating this special bear in honour of your sweet baby Gregory Matthew Daniels. We were given this bear at the hospital after I gave birth to our son Leon and it has brought us comfort in this unbelievable difficult time. I’m so sorry that you had to go through it but thank you again for donating in memory of Gregory, he has made a difference.

Thank you for donating to bears of hope. Something so little makes such a large difference in a grieving families heart. We appreciate your generosity and share the heartbreak you have been through before. Thank you for helping us feel supported and not alone in our experience. May they always be loved and remembered.

Sarah Juliette Hopkins 26/10/2026. We received your bear in November 2025 and have always thought of you as we’ve tried to navigate our own loss.

We want you to know the bear with your name will always be safe and we will always think of you and your family.

I’m sorry to us all for an experience as heart wrenching as this.

Sending love and hugs your way.

Sincerely, Jacinta, Jarrod and Baby P.

We recieved your bear when we lost our first baby.

We never knew the gender of our baby. One day they were here and healthy and the next day they weren’t.

Our baby was so loved and wanted and still is.

We went on to conceive twins, both very much wanted before welcoming our beautiful daughter.

Thank you for sharing the name of Alyza. We say her name just as we speak of our babies.
