After every storm, comes a Rainbow

Rainbow Babies carry a special feeling...

When we’re young and naive, we all think that having a baby comes easy peasy. The truth is, it is a complete and utter miracle. Today we’re here to discuss a very bittersweet subject: Rainbow Babies. For those who may not know of the term, a Rainbow Baby is the child born to a couple following a miscarriage, stillborn, or death of an infant.

The healing love they bring

Choosing to have another baby after loosing a child looks different for every couple; just as grief and healing does. For some, it may take months to years to open their hearts to the idea of conceiving again. For others, they feel ready as soon as possible. No matter when a couple is ready, that is the right time for THEM.
