Mumma Bears Cherished Memories

After losing one of the most important people in my life, my mum I quickly found that I wanted a piece of her and her memory to be with me where ever I went. I found myself having all kinds of memorial gifts made to help me deal with the grief I was going through. After realising how much these gifts meant to me and how much comfort they brought to me I decided to start making my own memorial items to help other people deal with their own tragedy of losing a loved one, to keep my mind busy and sane while grieving and also to help fill a huge massive void that I will always have (my mum was a huge part of my life, she was my best friend, and going from seeing someone every day, almost all day long, to not at all is so so hard).
My motto is 'A busy mind is a healthy mind' and so Mumma Bears was born. Every moment I spend making these gifts, is a moment I'm not moping around, or sat around over thinking and crying. It is a positive way to keep her memory alive for me.

I started with memorial bears out of a loved ones clothing and vastly grew into all sorts of memorial gifts, and then came the  jewellery and resin pieces with a loved ones hair/ashes/fur or even breastmilk. I absolutely love the feeling it gives being able to provide people with the most amazing, comforting and personal gifts to help them process the life shattering emotions that loss makes you feel, and with these type of gifts (containing a part of you loved one, or something your loved one has worn) you cant get any more special than that!

At 38 years old I am married and I have 2 beautiful children. 
I love anything creative, and have spent 23 years being a hairdresser and being very passionate about it, however we never know what is around the corner and how it will shape our lives, and I now have a new passion, a greater passion. Which definitely means more to me than a 'hobby' or a 'job'.

 
This is a photo of my beautiful mum (Which she would absolutely hate), I wish she would have known how beautiful she was.
I love that Mumma Bears Cherished Memories will always be in memory of her, and will always keep her memory alive (this is also why you will see daffodils in all of our branding, this is because it was her favourite flower and a big must in everything we do.
She is the reason I will keep fighting everyday to be better and better, so hopefully she will be watching down and be as proud of me as I was of her.

My mum wasn't old, she wasn't ill and it definitely wasn't her time to go, she was taken very suddenly and unexpectedly and her absence hurts more than words could ever explain.
