Baby Archie Chaplin
Creator   Lisa Chaplin
Close at  Tuesday, 28 December 2010

In memory of our Angel Baby Archie Chaplin 23/6/10.

 
The Teddy Love Club (TLC) is a non profit organisation that is a support program for bereaved parents, family and friends.

 
Part of this organisation is the 'Bear Giving Program'. When Troy and I were about to leave the Hospital after giving birth to Archie, we were given a Teddy Bear. This was a gift from one bereaved Family to Troy and I. It was something for us to hold close to us as we left the hospital with such empty arms.

 
The bear giving is the basis of the TLC support program by connecting with bereaved families and friends right at the very beginning and offer ongoing support. 

 
We have come to the END of our TEDDY BEAR DRIVE in Honour of  Baby Archie Chaplin. Troy and I will be delivering some Teddies to The Ashford Hospital today being Archie’s due date (10th November) and then Teddies will be donated to Maternity Hospital's all over Australia so we can reach all bereaved Parents. 

 
Troy and I have been over-welmed by the support we have received already.
You can still Donated money to this wonderful organization in Honour of Archie.

 
Remember:
1 in 4 Pregnancies end in MISCARRIAGE,
There are 6 STILLBORNS EVERYDAY in Australia.

 
This is a poem I read at Archie’s Funeral:
(Writer unknown)

The world may never notice
If the snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall to soon.


 
But every life that ever forms
Or even comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all ETERNITY.


 
The little one we long for
Was swiftly here and gone,
But the love that was planted
Is a light that still shines on.


And although our arms are empty
Our hearts know what to do,
Every beating of our hearts
Says that we do LOVE YOU.


Lots of Love xox

    Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support

Teddy Love Club Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support is an Australia wide support program for bereaved families who suffer the loss of their baby or babies at any time during pregnancy or after birth. This includes miscarriage, stillbirth, termination of pregnancy for foetal abnormality and neonatal death.

The TLC program is the original bear giving program in Australia established 26th October 2002 in Adelaide. TLC operates in every state of Australia with the program provided to every maternity hospital across the country. TLC is leading the way in providing support, guidance and comfort to bereaved parents, their families and friends.   

TLC donates traditional Teddy Bears to bereaved parents, in the hope the bear may help to ease the pain of leaving the hospital with such aching empty arms. We hope to provide parents with the comfort of knowing they are not alone right from the beginning, and offer significant ongoing support understanding to bereaved parents, their families and their friends.  

The Teddy Love Club Program provides a range of support services including:

Deborah Robinson 50.00Lisa and Troy: Your willingness to share your pain is to be admired. I haven't lost a child, but at 31 (3 years ago) I had breast cancer and because of this I share this message with you: Have the strength to admit when you feel weak, have the courage to say you are afraid and keep smiling even when you dont feel like it. My pain and sorrow faded and I hope yours gets easier to deal with too. Best wishes- Deb - PORT SUPPORTER FROM MELBOURNE

Jenna Harris 100.00It's almost 12mths since my Annie became an angel baby. We were 18wks and because she wasn't 20wks she isn't legally or socially recognised as a baby but I still gave birth to her. My love and thoughts are with you both. This is a beautiful idea. We received a blanket with Annie's name on it. It will not be easy and you never get over it, you just learn to deal with it better. xox
