We received this beautiful bear after our daughter Blair was stillborn. While the situation itself is horrible, to know that we are not alone was a blessing and we are forever grateful xx

Thank you so much for this bear of hope. We had our first pregnancy which unfortunately resulted in a missed miscarriage. We were lucky even to be given Clarry which has brought us comfort 💕

Dear Gallon Family,

Firstly, we as the Nelson family would like to say how deeply sorry we are for the loss of Holly.

We also want to thank you for the honour of receiving the bag in remembrance of Holly. It has made such a great difference to me, especially the journal, which I use daily.

Your love and care have truly touched us during such a painful time. We will pay this kindness forward in honour of our little baby girl, Isabella.

Thank you for making a difference. Your kindness will not be forgotten.

With love and gratitude,
The Nelson Family

She was our beautiful little surprise shortly after getting engaged. You are so loved my sweet girl, there’s not one day goes by that I don’t think of you. Seeing you in a frame with a beautiful little bear isn’t fair, and I can’t wait to hold you in my arms one day.

The bundle I got was very heartwarming in this sad and heartbreaking time, it’s nice to know that there programs and people I can reach out to in this time and my grief.

This was our second miscarriage and the moment the hospital handed me the care pack and I found the bear inside I broke down even more knowing I am not alone in this feeling.

The bear has a special spot in our house! Thank you for donating him and it being my comfort in our heartbreak.

Thankyou for your kind donation. It will be a treasured possession for the rest of my life after the loss of my baby. Your kindness at this really hard time is so appreciated and has helped me to not feel quite as alone as I do every day at the moment. Im so sorry for your loss too. Knowing there are others out there that have experienced similar things and still want to show others kindness helps more than you know. Every day is hard knowing ill never hold my child but I now have my bear and while its not the same it still brings me some peace. Thankyou more than words can say. Sending you love

My mum sews angel gowns so I had heard about Bears of Hope through discussions about other services for loss parents, but learnt more about what you do when we received a bear and used a donated Bears of Hope cuddle cot after the loss of our daughter.

Thinking of Scout’s parents whilst we grieve the loss of our beautiful baby girl, Stella. No parent should ever have to experience a loss so profound. We are so sorry you know this pain too ❤️
