desperate for lost teddy (Jellycat 2008) - can anyone help?

[acorngirl]

This is the first time I've posted.
It's hard to write about it but we lost the teddy my 7 year old son has had since he was born. He absolutely loved teddy saying "Mummy I love teddy more than I can say" just before we lost him. We left my bag/had it stolen on a train in Czech this summer (my husband and I were having a tough time at the time...)
My son has skin-sensitivity issues and the feel of the teddy's special arm on his skin really soothed him, day and night. Now he tries to get soothed my touching his younger sister which drives her crazy, starts fights etc. He looks so lost without him. And can't seem to settle. He
misses him for both company and for the feel of him.
I have tried and tried to find a replacement on line but the teddy is no longer available. Please if ANYONE has the same teddy and their child no longer wants/needs the teddy could we please adopt him. Or if you know where we might find one. This is the teddy bear:

MEDIUM BASHFUL HONEY BEAR BAS3BR - JELLYCAT from 2008
I am at a loss what to do and desperate to find a replacement. Also terribly sad and so angry myself at letting this happen.
Sorry for such a long thread. PLEASE HELP.

Kamekona, Actually I'm thinking it might be the same bear is there any way you could send another photo with his head more in the position of our bear on our photo please? Many thanks

My Six year old has a jellykat rabbit that he feels about similarly. He can't get to sleep unless stroking rabbit's ears. Can't help except to say I feel your pain that rabbit is like a member of our family and losing it would be awful. I really hope you can find something.

Goodness I hope you find him!!! Bump bump bump!

Hi. I see this post is long past but everyone was so helpful to this lady and I hoped they might be to me too! I am desperately seeking an approximately 8 year old jellycat dog. I can't remember the name he came with from jellycat as we renamed him. I think he was in the sheepdog category. I need to find a picture now. He had dark honey coloured fur and a long nose. My daughter lost her lifelong jellycat pal and her Daddy within a month of each other. I can't bring my husband back but it would be amazing if I could bring the dog back and he has suddenly appeared on the Xmas list. Its going to be a tall order given its 8 years old! Please HELP! Thanks.

Will try and get a better shot but this is one to start with!

Start a new thread with your description inI title
People will read to the end (like me) looking for bears

This one is a bit better

OK thank you, will try, have never used this before!!

Thank you both for your recent posts. SE13 mummy I don't think your bear will do but so kind of you.

Start a facebook thing, people are kind! I do hope you find the bear 🐻

Dear all

Thanks so much for all your support. I still haven't found a teddy for my son. He is still so sad,and anxious without his teddy.
I asked "Jellycat" company to make him an exact replica but they said I would have to order 2000.
I am thinking of trying to get together 2000 orders. Do you think with a community of families whose children have loved (and lost) lovies I could make this happen? Through a mass campaign.
If I ask 200 families to get 10 families each to buy a teddy we can do it, and my son will have teddy back.

Please let me know
a) if you think it is a workable plan
b) if you would be able to help me find some families (through friends, school communities etc)

Many many thanks and in hope
Madeline

I'm so so sorry your son has lost his bear. I totally understand just why it is so important that he gets the same. I think it would be better ( now) though to try and help him learn how to adjust to having a 'cousin ' bear or friend . I'm concerned you won't ever find one - and he might ( just might) accept another friend. Good luck.

Is this him?

Ugh sorry so dark.... nighttime filter.

That's heartbreaking for both of you! I've saved the pictures and will keep an eye out in charity shops. I still have my teddy from childhood, I'd be distraught if he went missing too!

Is this it?!

I don't think that's a workable plan at all, sorry. I think it's a bit bonkers actually to try to rope others into it - sorry if I sound harsh but I run you've lost perspective on this! I understand you want to make your son happy but you would be better off using your energies getting a new alternative bear and helping your son build new happy memories with this toy.

I'm on the mobile site. Can someone PM the op. I'm certain it's the right bear.

Ophiotaurus the arms don't look the same to me, not as long as in the OP's post, I don't think it is the right bear.

I'm sorry your little boy lost his bear. But I don't think your idea is practicable.

Better to get him used to the idea of adopting a new orphaned bear who needs an owner to love him.

I'm sorry your son lost his bear OP, but I agree with others that you should try to help him move on and create memories with a new teddy. It sounds as if this has become a bit of an obsession for you, when it might be the case that you will never find an identical bear. Is it because you associate it with your son's birth and you feel that losing the bear is losing something special from that time? I do understand as I have taken a while to get over lost things.

That does look like it. I just seen a bear on the news Facebook page and they are trying to trace the owner. I'll see if I can link it.
