Some parts of grief are simply out of our control. 🤍

We can’t control what other people say.
We can’t control pregnancy announcements, baby showers, or unexpected questions.
We can’t control how quickly others expect us to “move on.”
We can’t control the past, the future, or the timing of another pregnancy.

But there are things we can choose.
✨ My pace of healing
✨ My boundaries
✨ What I share and who I share it with
✨ When I ask for support
✨ How I honor my baby
✨ Giving myself permission to grieve
✨ Resting when I need to
✨ Practicing self-care
✨ Trusting my body
✨ Celebrating the small wins

Grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or pregnancy loss is not a linear journey. Healing doesn’t have a deadline, and there is no “right” way to grieve your baby.

You are allowed to protect your peace.
You are allowed to say no.
You are allowed to step away from situations that hurt.
You are allowed to heal at your own pace. 🤍

You may not be able to control everything around your grief—but you can choose how you care for yourself through it.

What’s one thing you’re choosing to keep in your control as you navigate grief or healing? Drop yours in the comments — even if it’s just one word. 👇

💙 Today, we honor the fathers whose babies are not here to celebrate with them.

The fathers who became dads—and then had to learn how to live with an empty crib.

The fathers who held their babies.

The fathers who heard a heartbeat and then heard silence.

The fathers who experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy loss, or infant loss.

The fathers who stood beside their partners through infertility, IVF, failed transfers, failed treatments, and years of hoping for a baby.

The fathers whose babies were lost before they ever got to bring them home.

And the fathers who are grieving quietly because the world so often asks:

“How is Mom doing?”

But forgets to ask:

“How is Dad doing?”

💙 We see you.

Your baby mattered.
Your fatherhood matters.
Your grief matters.
Your love matters.

At Chasing the Rainbows, we believe every parent deserves support after pregnancy and infant loss—including dads.

No father should have to navigate pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, infertility, or reproductive trauma alone.

Today, we honor the dads who are parenting in a way the world cannot always see.

The dads who say their baby’s name.

The dads who keep their baby’s memory alive.

The dads who show up for their families while quietly breaking inside.

The dads who are still waiting for their rainbow.

And the dads whose journey to fatherhood has been filled with years of loss, longing, and unanswered questions.

💙 To every bereaved father: Your baby is remembered. You are remembered. You are not forgotten.

If you know a bereaved dad, infertility dad, miscarriage dad, stillbirth dad, or father grieving the loss of his baby, tag him, send this to him, or share this post so he knows he is seen.

And if you’re a dad living through this kind of loss:

You belong here.

💙 We honor you today and every day.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO LIGHT UP EVEN MORE LANDMARKS! 💗💙

Light Up the Sky: Honoring Our Babies Gone Too Soon is coming this October, and we want to see even more cities, bridges, buildings, businesses, and homes glowing pink and blue in honor of babies gone too soon.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a time to remember the babies we never got to bring home and honor the families forever changed by miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, and pregnancy loss.
Because our babies mattered.
Their lives mattered.
And they deserve to be remembered. 🩷🩵

This year, we’re working to light up the sky across the country in honor of the babies we carry in our hearts. From city skylines and bridges to porches and neighborhoods, every light tells a story:
We remember.
We love.
We grieve.
We honor.
We will never forget.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP US LIGHT UP EVEN MORE LANDMARKS:
💗 Ask your city hall, local landmark, bridge, hospital, business, or community organization to light up pink and blue. If you need assistance or have questions, email us: [email protected].
💙 Light up your own home, porch, business, or window.
📸 Take a photo of a landmark lit up pink and blue and tag so we can share it. Use and .

Our goal is simple: MORE LIGHTS. MORE LANDMARKS. MORE BABIES REMEMBERED.

We don’t want a single family to feel like they are grieving in the dark.

This October, we won’t stay quiet.
We won’t dim our grief.
We will cry it out loud. We will honor out loud.
And together, we will Light Up the Sky. ✨💗💙

HELP US REACH MORE LANDMARKS: Tag your city. Tag your mayor. Tag a local business. Tag a hospital. Tag someone who can help make it happen.

🌈 Visit BabyLossAwareness.org to see the growing list of participating landmarks and learn how you can get involved.

Every baby loss matters. Every baby deserves to be remembered.

There are dates in grief that never stop mattering. 🤍

The day you found out you were pregnant.
The day you heard their heartbeat.
The day you saw their little face on an ultrasound.
The due date you spent months dreaming about.
The day you met them.
The day you said goodbye.
The birthday they should be celebrating.
The age they should be today.

When you lose a baby, you don't lose just one moment. You lose every future moment you imagined with them.

You may always know exactly how old your child should be. You may still count the years, months, weeks, or even days. And you may find yourself wondering who they would be, what they would look like, and what life would feel like if they were still here.

That isn't "being stuck."
That isn't something you need to get over.
That's love.

Your baby will always be your baby. Your child will always be your child. And every date that matters to you is allowed to matter. 🩷

If you're navigating pregnancy loss, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or the loss of a child, you are not alone. Your grief is valid, and your baby deserves to be remembered.

💬 What is one date you will always remember?

There was always more to Dolly Parton than rhinestones, big hair, and a voice that could fill a room.

Long before conversations about infertility, pregnancy loss, and women’s health became more openly discussed, Dolly was telling these stories through her music and in interviews.

Dolly and her late husband, Carl Dean, had hoped to have biological children, but severe endometriosis and a partial hysterectomy closed that door.

Dolly once said:
“I didn’t have children because I believed that God didn’t mean for me to have kids so everybody’s kids could be mine.”

And there was Down From Dover. Released in 1970, the song tells the heartbreaking story of a woman who gives birth to a stillborn baby: “Our baby has been born, but something’s wrong, it’s too still. I hear no crying.”

Dolly was putting words to grief, reproductive pain, infertility, and the complicated realities of motherhood when many women were expected to suffer in silence. She understood that motherhood doesn’t always look the way we imagined.

Sometimes it is bringing your baby home.
Sometimes it is saying goodbye.
Sometimes it is loving children who were never biologically yours.

And sometimes it is finding a way to turn a door that closed into a lifetime of love.

Dolly used her voice to tell stories that deserved to be heard. She is a true legend.

For every mother who has ever heard silence where she expected a cry: Your baby mattered. Your grief matters. Your story matters. 🌈

Grief taught me things I never expected to learn.

I expected to cry every day.
I expected people to show up.
I expected to miss them less with time.
I expected grief to make me weaker.
I expected to eventually feel “normal” again.

But grief taught me something completely different.
Sometimes the hardest days are the ones when you feel nothing at all.

You don’t miss them less. You just learn how to carry the missing differently.

You realize grief doesn’t always show up on the anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays. Sometimes it finds you on an ordinary Thursday while you’re making coffee, driving to work, or standing in the grocery store.

You learn that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
You learn that grief can coexist with laughter, love, joy, and hope.
And you learn that “normal” may not be something you return to.

Maybe you create a new normal.

One that carries their memory with you. 🤍

If grief has taught you something you never expected, what has it taught you? Share it below. Someone grieving may need to hear that they aren’t alone.

Save this for the days when grief feels different than you expected. And send it to someone who needs a little reminder that there is no “right” way to grieve.

Today, we honor every story, every journey, and every path to the rainbow.

A rainbow baby can bring a kind of joy that feels impossible to explain, while also carrying a connection to the baby who came before. And sometimes, that joy comes with fear, anxiety, guilt, or grief.

Today we’re holding space for:
🌈 The babies born after loss
🤍 The babies whose lives were brief but whose love will always matter
🌈 Those navigating pregnancy after loss while carrying hope and fear
🤍 Those still hoping and waiting for their rainbow baby
🌈 Those grieving the baby they dreamed of but never got to bring home
🤍 And everyone learning how to make room for both joy and grief

A rainbow baby does not replace the baby who came before. A new pregnancy does not erase grief.
And feeling joy does not mean you have forgotten your baby. There is room for all of it.

If you have a rainbow baby, are pregnant after loss, are waiting for your rainbow, or are grieving a baby you never got to bring home, we see you. You are not alone.

Tell us your rainbow baby’s name, your angel baby’s name, or simply leave a 🌈 in the comments to honor your journey today.

There is no timeline for healing. There is no right way to grieve. Some days you will feel steady, and some days the scream will feel louder than everything else. All of it belongs. All of it is allowed.

You are allowed to still be hurting. You are allowed to talk about them. You are allowed to take up space with your grief.

At Chasing the Rainbows, we walk alongside families through infertility, stillbirth, pregnancy and infant loss, and pregnancy after loss. Every one of our support services is free, because no one should have to carry their grief alone.

If this reminder reached you today, share it with someone who needs to hear that their scream matters too. You never know who is quietly carrying one.

Grief doesn’t always look like crying.

Sometimes grief looks like going to work, answering texts, making dinner, laughing with friends, and carrying on with your day while something inside you still hurts.

Grief can run quietly in the background of your mind while you keep functioning.

You can be doing “okay” and still miss someone deeply.
You can be healing and still have hard days.
You can move forward without moving on.

Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, pregnancy loss, infertility, a relationship, a dream, or a life you thought you would have, your grief is real.

There is no timeline for grief.
There is no right way to grieve.
And you don’t have to prove that you’re hurting for your loss to matter. 🤍

If you’re carrying grief today, **you don’t have to carry it alone.**
