Rainbow Babies

I saw an article on rainbow roses the other day. It was pretty neat. They somehow dyed all of the petals a different color. Seeing the roses made me think about a term I learned after my miscarriage. Rainbow Babies. A rainbow baby is a baby that is born after a loss. Rather it be a miscarriage, still born or infant/child loss. All of those cause a "storm" in the family's life. A baby born after the loss is the "rainbow" after the storm. In short after every storm there is a rainbow. I thought that was a great term to help those dealing with a loss. Every time I see a rainbow now it makes me smile. It reminds me that there is still hope and good things in this cruel and unfair world.
