I received my bears of hope bag after the passing of my son at flinders hospital

Comments

My husband and I have been deeply touched by receiving a bear in honour of Tamira. We are grateful to keep her memory alive as she passed in 1998, we hope our child will be remembered and bring peace to other families going through losses for many years to come, as we too will be donating a bear in his name.

Our baby boy, Noah, was born prematurely at 28wks on 27 May 2024. He was a fighter, making progress and showing positive signs for 9 days before a disastrous 10th day – where he was rapidly diagnosed with and succumbed to NEC totalis.

We received Ella’s bear during our first counselling session with Bears of Hope. We have named the bear Ella in her honour, and given it to our 2yr old daughter in memory of Noah.

Our hearts ache for our baby boy. We hope to spend the rest of our days doing good deeds so that we may be reunited in Heaven.

We lost our beautiful girl, Poppy Joy Midson on Monday the 17th June 2024. By far this is the hardest thing we have ever done. Our little girl was born sleeping. Our hearts ache for her every second of every day.
The morning after our Poppy arrived we received our Bears of Hope bag and opened it to find a gorgeous little bear in memory of Ari Meryl Horan who was born on the 26th May 2019. We will forever treasure this little bear in memory of both Poppy and Ari and all other babies who are taken from us too soon.
We hope Ari’s Mum and Dad know just how grateful we are for our little bear.

I received this bear today after the news of my miscarriage. This bear gives me great comfort knowing that I am not alone during this difficult time. I want to thank Noah and Sophia’s Mummy and Daddy for donating this bear in honour of their precious babies.

Thank You so much for donating a “Bear of Hope” in honour of Poppy Ruth Simpson. We received the bear today after suffering a few miscarriages over the years and our latest little angel we lost at 2.5 months unfortunately formed in my one and only last fallopian tube 😭💔 Heartbroken is definitely an understatement but your bear will definitely be cherished and loved in our house, thank you soo much 💞💞

I received a Bear of Hope bag in hospital after the loss of my son at 17 weeks in April 2023

Receiving our Bear was a glimmer of light in the darkest time of our lives. It breaks our heart that others have been through what we have, but it is comforting to know we are not alone. Seeing our bear everyday gives me comfort and also makes me feel connected with my son Milo. Thank you Daphne’s parents your gift is appreciated more than I can say.

Thank you Ariana’s family for our “Hope” bear. I hold the bear in my arms at times that are particularly tough after we lost our Baby just two weeks ago.
