Comfort bears providing relief to grieving parents after the heartbreaking loss of a baby

A group of volunteers are providing maternity wards in Northern Ireland with special teddy bears to help grieving parents following the heartbreaking loss of a baby.

Volunteers Laura Kelly, Ellie Goan and Lisa Harrison have been working with the charity Aching Arms in order to provide support to parents who have gone through the tragic ordeal of losing a baby.

The bears are provided free of charge to parents with them being purchased via donations, often by other parents who are grieving the loss of a loved one and want to help others going through the same difficult time.
