What is a Therapeutic Comfort Cub?
I’m not just a Teddy Bear. I am HOPE you can HOLD.
Marcella’s Story
In 1999 I was 6 months pregnant with my third baby. That is when my husband and I got the devastating news that our unborn baby boy had a congenital, life-limiting prognosis. The doctors told us if he lived to term he could die during the delivery. If he survived the delivery, he would die shortly after. There was no way to prepare for news like this, there was no way to get my mind around the idea of life and death surfacing at the same time.
Broken Heart Syndrome
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
Have you experienced a grief so profound you felt your heart was broken? Broken Heart Syndrome or "Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy" is a condition that is very real and affects people from all walks of life. It causes the heart's left ventricle to enlarge when the body and mind deals with severe grief, stress, and trauma. This in turn produces many other symptoms throughout the body that make it difficult to function normally.

Words of Gratitude
“The first time I held my bear it saved my life I didn't feel as much emptiness I was still hurting but my arm wasn't hurting. When I left the hospital I didn't have my son but I had a bear that would help me get through hard times.”
— Rachel S.
“I got a [Comfort] Cub when my baby passed away. It was so helpful to me that I just purchased one for my 94 year old grandma after my grandpa died. I know it will bring her a lot of comfort too.”
— Booke T. Oceanside
