Stuffed animals can comfort adults too!

Stuffed animals aren’t just for kids. They’re often a source of comfort for adults, too. In our house, we call them “loveys,” and I’ve seen firsthand how these treasured items can bring peace in stressful or emotional times.

Whether it’s a stuffed animal from childhood, a keepsake tied to a cherished memory, or a gift from a child or grandchild, these simple items hold powerful meaning.

If you have a loved one in the hospital, in rehab, or in a nursing home, don’t forget to bring their favorite lovey. Sometimes, it’s the smallest gestures that bring the greatest comfort!
