⭐️ CALLING OUR GIVEAWAY WINNER 📞

Being able to do things like this for a couple really is why I started the charity. If this helps even just a little bit towards this couple getting some answers and is a part of their jigsaw than our mission is accomplished.

A huge thank you once again to .life for wanting to work with and support the charity.

The charity doesn’t gain anything at all from affiliations that we make, our only goal is to help people through their darkest days.

We will keep you all updated with how the couple get on 🫶🏻

Happy Monday 🥹

Miscarriage is NOT a heavy period, it’s the loss of a baby you already loved… it’s your future, your dream disappearing overnight.

It’s a grief your body now feels and holds, it’s taking steps in a world you didn’t know existed.

We had the pleasure of working with The Golden Thread Event Management Ltd at The Rainbow Bash last year and we’re so looking forward to working with Emily and the team again.

They genuinely do weave a golden thread through everything they do, bringing their creativity, energy and pizazz into every room they touch. ✨

We asked Emily if she’d like to share a few words about supporting Chasing Rainbows, and she said:

“We’re incredibly proud to return as a premier partner sponsor of Chasing Rainbows for a second year. The support they provide to individuals and families during some of the most difficult times in their lives is truly invaluable. It’s an honour to continue standing behind such an important charity and the incredible work they do within our community.”

A huge thank you to Emily and the whole Golden Thread Event Management Team for your continued support and as a premier partner sponsor at our upcoming soirée in October. We’re incredibly grateful to have you alongside us. 🌈✨

Sometimes the days feel calm, but sometimes the days are spent searching for signs you are there and me thinking about if you knew how much I love you.

Summer skies are where I get lost, looking for you up there 😢

Supporting those navigating baby loss and infertility but also neurodivergence… let’s talk about it. Some neurodivergent people don’t “look like they are grieving.”

They may:

• go silent
• become hyper logical
• hold onto routines more rigidly
• talk about seemingly unrelated things
• seem “fine” too quickly

That doesn’t mean they didn’t love deeply.
It doesn’t mean they aren’t grieving.

Grief can feel physically unbearable when your nervous system already processes the world intensely.

Lights can feel brighter.
Noise can feel sharper.
People can feel exhausting.
Everything can become too much.

ADHD grief can look like:

• emotional whiplash
• forgetting the loss, then remembering it suddenly
• shame about “not grieving properly”
• struggling with practical tasks after a death

Autistic grief can look like:

• delayed emotional processing
• shutdowns or meltdowns
• intense attachment to routines, objects, or reminders of the person
• needing factual details rather than vague comfort

Some neurodivergent people mask their grief so well that they end up comforting everyone else while their own needs come last.

And because society expects grief to look a certain way, quiet tears, vulnerability, emotional language, many neurodivergent people end up believing they’re grieving “wrong.”

They’re not.

There is no “correct” nervous system response to loss.

Talking nonstop can be grief.
Silence can be grief.
Researching can be grief.
Avoidance can be grief.
Humour can be grief.
Crying can be grief.

Grief doesn’t have one shape.
And neither do the people experiencing it.

Shoutout to those navigating loss and infertility and also processing in a different way too. We see you 🫶🏻✨

A thousand tears won’t bring you back because I’ve cried them… and I’ll cry a thousand more knowing there are school shoes that will never be bought or worn.

It’s a whole different type of pain as the school uniform pictures adorn social media, as first days at nursery start. It’s a stab to the heart as you drive through the school run on your way to work wondering what that parallel world is like.

Wondering who they would have been… I know everyone has their own lives but skipping because your child has gone back or sharing memes that laugh at parenthood is pretty much on par with the jokes around pregnancy.

As those ‘Back to School’ photos flood social media this week, our thoughts are with all those families who will never see their babies start school and never see them grow into the wonderful children and adults they would have been.

Please be mindful of your conversations this week as there are many that would give everything to acknowledge these milestone’s.

What does your fundraising actually mean? 🌈

It can be easy to look at a fundraising target and see a number.

£500. £1,000. £5,000.

But behind every single pound raised for Chasing Rainbows is something much bigger.

It can mean a woman sitting in a room surrounded by people who just get it.

It can mean someone in the depths of infertility, feeling like everyone else’s life is moving forward while theirs feels completely frozen, being reminded that they are not alone.

It can mean support, understanding, friendship, hope and somewhere safe to put all the feelings that are sometimes impossible to explain.

And this year, your fundraising has helped make things like our Wellbeing Weekend possible. 💗

Imagine what that weekend can mean to someone who has spent months or years… navigating infertility, IVF, loss, disappointment and the emotional exhaustion that comes with trying to build a family.

A weekend where they can breathe.

A weekend where they don’t have to explain themselves.

A weekend surrounded by people who understand.

A weekend to laugh, cry, talk, rest and simply be.

That is what fundraising for Chasing Rainbows can create.

Our charity is currently funded through fundraising, so when you run, walk, climb, bake, cycle, donate or take on a challenge for us, you aren’t just raising money.

You are helping create moments of hope in someone’s darkest chapter. 🌈

Your fundraising matters more than you might ever know.

Thank you for helping us continue to make sure nobody has to face this journey feeling completely alone. ❤️

And that’s that 🫶🏻

Friendships, silence, ghosting, just nothing… is one of the hardest times during fertility struggles. Some just never come back… 💔

Please don’t avoid us in the hard times and gloss over when we finally see our light.
