As Children’s Grief Awareness Week comes to an end, we would like to remind everyone that our service is FREE and available to any bereaved child. For further information visit: https://foylehospice.com/our-services/child-and-young-person-bereavement-support/

Healing Hearts offers both one to one support, and group support and it can be a nice way for families who are going through a similar experience to connect in a supported environment.

It costs £60 to hand-make a unique memory bear for a bereaved child. If you would like to donate towards a memory bear please visit: https://foylehospice.com/product/memorybear/ or call: 02871 359 888.

A Northern Ireland mum, who lost her husband to cancer three years ago, has opened up about how a memory bear helped her young son in the grieving process.

"It’s something to hold onto belonging to his daddy and he loves cuddling it, which provides a lot of comfort to him" 💞

This Christmas why not give the gift of donating a memory bear.

Healing hearts have now got an option for you to make a donation towards a memory bear for bereaved children and young people.

The amount of children that these have helped with their grieving is amazing along with the fantastic work Michelle does at the Foyle Hospice.
Thank you ♥️

The children and young people who are support by Healing Hearts at Foyle Hospice receive a special memory bear made from clothing from their loved one this is offered to every bereaved child for them to cherish forever.

If anyone has sent me a message and not received a reply please let me know or resend their message.
A lot of my messages have been disappearing on me for some reason.

A lot of questions asking about Christmas orders and time scale.

**I’m currently not taking any orders until at least February.**

As some of you may know I have went back to study and I’m currently at university Full time.🎓
Between studying, exams, placements it’s not going to leave me very much time to be creating Memory Bears and I won’t be able to do as many in the future.
But I will try fit in as much as I can.
Thank you ☺️
