Aching Arms is a national charity that provides free comfort bears to bereaved parents to support their mental health and healing after the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or soon after.
We work with midwives in EPUs, NICUs and labour wards to help bring comfort to bereaved parents by asking them to offer our comfort bears to those who have lost a baby. The bears we give are a gift from another family who has experienced the loss of a baby, so the parents receiving the bear know they are not alone.
