Not Every Rainbow Life… Men’s Short Sleeve T-Shirt

You can have a rainbow life, even if your life after loss does not include a rainbow baby.

Children born after the parents suffered the loss of a child are called rainbow babies because a rainbow follows the storm. But as most of us know not all storms are followed by a rainbow.

After the storm of loss, when the wind and rain begin to settle, beauty and joy can be found and they do not always take the shape of another baby. With this design we seek to normalize the many different paths of healing that loss parents travel and that the rainbows that follow the storm of losing a child are different for everyone. And that’s okay! All the rainbows are valid. All the ways we find healing are good and meaningful, be it a rainbow baby, a rainbow pet, a rainbow career change or anything else or any combination.

We don’t get over the loss of a child, we grow around it. It changes us. There are times we think we will never feel joy again. With time, and talking, and processing, and support joy peeks through the clouds again. Many of us need more help than our families and partners can give, if you need help to navigate the storm of your loss, please reach out. The Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre offers support for bereaved families in Canada. In the US you can contact Share. You can also seek out support through facebook groups, instagram, contacting your medical professional to connect you with counseling or using an online counseling service like betterhelp (not sponsored). You are worthy of your rainbow life and as a Loss Mama myself, I (Annie) can assure you that it is possible and getting help to reach it is normal.
