From Lauren,
“Rainbow babies are babies born after a loss. When we lost our sweet baby a year and a half ago we asked God why? We thought we might never be able to have a baby. We were devastated, but we knew God had a plan. Then, in His perfect time, He sent us our rainbow! The promise after a storm that His Love is abounding. After every storm comes a rainbow and Chatham Grace is ours!”
“Rainbow Babies are the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm.
When a rainbow appears, it doesn’t mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath.
What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds.
Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.”

To the family who has experienced a loss, know you are not alone. Take a moment to read this letter to the mother of a rainbow baby…
It’s OK to be afraid. It’s OK to take it day-to-day. It’s even OK if you’re not excited. You’ve learned, in the worst possible way, that nothing in life is guaranteed. But it’s also OK to have hope, and make plans. Yes, the baby deserves that, but so do you.”
“For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
