Bears of Comfort & Sewandsoaps

Bears of comfort and Sewandsoaps are two companies working in conjunction with each other, to better the emotional status of many people, for many reasons.

Bears of Comfort provides memorial products (bears, pillows, and blankets)as well as listening/counseling services to a vast number of people having experienced the loss of a pregnancy, the stillbirth of a newborn, the death of a child, or just death in general, being loss of a friend or family member. The items Bears of Comfort sells are personalized and embroidered to the customer's whim.

Sewandsoaps provides a very similar service to the general population for any event or celebration. They don't just personalize their items to commemorate babyloss, but also offer personalizations for birthday, wedding, anniversary, or completely custom embroidery on their products, such as a "World's Greatest Grandma", or as an appreciation gift to a teacher.

These two companies strive to make their customers completely happy with their purchases, commemorating any event in their lives.

My experience with these two companies came about during a conversation with a friend as a member of the babyloss community. Six of my children have been lost due to spontaneous abortion, otherwise known as miscarriage. I found out about Bears of Comfort from talking to this friend about her decision to take her Angel Bear to the hospital when she delivers her Rainbow Baby. (An Angel is the term used for a child no longer on earth, a Rainbow is a child born after a tragic loss of another pregnancy.) When I had mentioned that I did not know about Angel Bears, nor did I have one of my own, she was very quick to provide me with information on how to acquire one of my own, thereby leading me to Bears of Comfort.

Bears of Comfort and Sewandsoaps are both located on Facebook. I left a message on the Bears of Comfort wall, asking for someone to please contact me with information on their bears, and was promptly issued a reply from Tanya Cray, and associate of theirs. I explained to her my situation, and my experiences with babyloss, and she was very quick to ask if I had any ideas already on how I would like my bear customized. The details were very quickly and efficiently worked out, and customized exactly the way I wanted. Because I have had six miscarriages, and could only choose one bear to represent all of my Angels, I decided to have "Angel Babies" embroidered on my bear's shirt, alternating in pink and blue thread, accompanied by 6 stars, three on either side, also alternating pink and blue, because I had lost each one before discovering the gender. I still felt this was the best way to represent my Angel children.

Bears of Comfort, Sewandsoaps, and Tanya Cray all worked dilligently to get my bear to me as quickly as possible. Even though they're located in the United Kingdom, my bear arrived expediently. More so than I had expected, in fact! I was even provided with a picture of my bear, wearing his embroidered shirt before he was shipped, so that I could be sure that was how I wanted him to look, and so that I knew what to expect in the mail. I was most pleased with the work done by Bears of Comfort and Sewandsoaps, and with how quickly my bear had arrived at my home.

I have recommended both Bears of Comfort and Sewandsoaps to friends, family, and will continue to do so whenever I find someone looking for personalized gifts, or new to the babyloss community.

Thank you, Bears of Comfort & Sewandsoaps from the bottom of my heart.

Bears of Comfort does accept donations to put towards bears who are requested by families that can't afford one. Please feel free to stop by their page and have a look around!
