Emotional Support and Comfort

Pros:

• "She could cry and tell it about all her pain without anyone else knowing or judging her if she wasn't strong enough by their standards."
• "I didn't know I needed you... until I got you....I lost my dog in September and missed the cuddle and petting time with him....although this bear is not him ... he brings me comfort."
• "It's a comfort for kids to love and cuddle in the hospital."

• "I honestly never knew how much something like a teddy bear could mean to someone."

Cons:
