I got given a bag after a D&C for a missed miscarriage.

The little bear means the world to me. Although it is not the same as cuddling our baby, I can cuddle something. Thinking of all the other grieving parents out there.

Among the few bereavement support ‘packs’ was the bag we received from “bears of hope”. We really appreciate the kindness and understanding we received from the amount of support within the gift.
We received a Bear in honour of another bereaved family, which has made my husband and I feel closer to our son as we recognise his scent is very similar to the bear, and it also feels like we are cuddling with him too, because he was born around the same size.

Thank you for the lovely bear in honour of Kyuss. It hurts our hearts that other babies have suffered the same as our baby boy. We send you love and light.
Our little boy, Archie Harvey Box, was born sleeping at 30 weeks. He was a gorgeous little baby and looked just like his older brother. Our hearts broke into pieces. We cuddled our little bear at night and it gave us comfort. Thank you.

Thank you to Nellie and family for the bear we received. It gave comfort during a very difficult time. We lost our beautiful daughter Ava on 24 October 2023 and we will pay it forward for future families who will need the same love and comfort we have received.

Thank you to Amara and Zara’s parents for gifting us this beautiful bear of hope. We are so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful little girls. We tragically lost our daughter Lottie in March of 2023, after two months in the NICU. Not a day goes by that we don’t miss her. We hope our little girl has found your two little ones, wherever they are, and that they feel only happiness and peace. We will cherish this bear forever. Love Ash & Canaan xx
