Mourning Loss With A Memory Bear

By Serena Price


Dealing with a death in the family or a death of anyone close is a painful and emotional experience and it is difficult knowing where to start when it comes to dealing with it. One of the best ways of coping is to find an avenue to release that emotion. A memory bear is designed specifically for this and is a very thoughtful way to remember someone.

So what are these bears? They are teddy-bears made from a special item of clothing from the person who has passed away. This can be literally anything, from coats to t-shirts to skirts. Any item that makes the individual think of the person who has passed. It is then used to make a teddy-bear that the individual can hug close in memory of their lost loved one.

This is something that a lot of people can appreciate as a teddy is not only lovely to look at, but it is also loved by children and adults alike. Both men and womenlove these items because they can be hugged, kissed or displayed as a nice reminder of the person they represent. They become filled with all the memories of the individual.

Memories are a peculiar thing and we are all familiar with the importance that certain objects can have in relation to memories. Things become lucky, unlucky and even begin to represent the idea of a person. Turning these memories attached to an item of clothing into another object is a wonderful method of honoring someone's death and, more importantly, life.

By taking the memory that is attached to the item of clothing and making it into a teddy the emotion attached to the person and to the item of clothing is preserved forever. It makes much more sense to keep hold of a special teddy than it does to keep hold of a coat or a jumper. It can also be put out on display as a regular reminder, in a way that a coat cannot.

As a gift these items are perfect. They make a rare surprise that your recipient will truly be grateful for. Try to find the correct style and coloring for the bear that your friend will really love. Think of both the person who has passed away and the person the teddy is intended for and take your time when talking about the design with the creator.

It is because this item has so much meaning that it is so important to take great care of it. Avoid anything that will stain or damage the material. Keep it in a safe place, out of direct sunlight and try not to let any animals or children play with it. Sometimes they are specially made with children in mind. If you intend to give it to a child tell the creator to ensure that they are safe for children.

For those who haven't heard of the memory bear, they make a wonderful gift, whether you give it to yourself or to a loved one. While it is possible to make yourself, it is often best left to the professional and anyone who does attempt to do it themselves should practice first, to ensure they don't damage the material. As a method of mourning, these bears are a wonderful concept and a very popular gift.
