There Will Be Rainbows, Sydney (2025)

Rainbow Circle ✨🌈✨

A free community gathering for those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, infant loss, and child loss 🌈

A place to honour your experience and your little love as well as being a pathway for healing and support✨

If you are pregnant or have had a bub since experiencing your loss - YOU ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND, and you are more than welcome to bring your baby along ! Your joy does not mean your grief isn't valid 💚

Child loss is the loss of your child. There is never any age limit to that. If you are here with us and your child now lives at the Rainbow, then you are welcome to come and share in the support and love that is 'Rainbow Circle'. Age is not a factor. Your baby, however old, will always be your baby 🧡

Facilitated by me, Nadine, from 'There Will Be Rainbows'. I lost my son Archie when he was 11 and a half months old 🐞 The loss of my son made me want to use my experiences as a catalyst for change, and to provide assistance to those in our community.

I welcome you to join me in guided conversation and the ongoing support of a beautifully embracing community.
All circle members are also invited to join our private whatsapp group for continued check-ins, advice, and support 🫶🏽

Many thanks to Flower Mamma for volunteering the use of their space 🩷 I am very grateful for your continued support of our beautiful circle 🌈

I am so grateful to the beautiful and . They have donated the (for pregnancy and baby loss) and (for termination for medical reasons), resource companions to share with the Mummas that attend our 'Rainbow Circle'. These companions are designed to provide you, or a loved one, with a little help when needed most 🤍

If you know of anyone who may like to attend, please share this post with them. I am also available for a chat if you have any questions.

This week is National Palliative Care week 🧡

It is important that people know about palliative care and all the beautiful things that it can bring to families. Our family was lucky enough to have the most beautiful support through the beautiful Bear Cottage 🐞🌈🐻

On the 17th of March, Archie's one month birthday, we left the hospital and stepped into Bear Cottage for the first time. We had many stays at Bear Cottage. We spent our days surrounded by people in our world. We were all the same there. The outside world was a world that I didn't feel comfortable in anymore. Bear Cottage felt like home. I was able to spend time with my eldest son, and we were able to be a family and do normal family things. He absolutely loved it! The staff and vollies were amazing and became like family. I was so very fortunate to be part of such a beautiful place, even if it was for the most horrific of reasons.

Then, the time we had been dreading came. We were at Bear Cottage, surrounded people who knew my boy and our family. We were safe, we were loved, and we were in a place that was home to us. My eldest son was happy and playing, and it was just right for him. He was able to come in and spend time with his little brother if he wanted and then leave and go back to his fun loving three year old life scootering the grounds and playing all through the Bear Cottage building. If there was a perfect way to be at a time when your child had just passed, then this would be it.

Bear Cottage made it possible for us to stay together as a family while Archie got the care he needed, and I got the support I needed. My eldest son, Will and Archie's biggest cousin, Carter, absolutely loved going there! It was never bleak and sad, but magical and full of joy ✨

Paediatric Palliative care and childrens hospices are so important. Every family should have access to the amazing care myself, and my family has been fortunate enough to have.

Thankyou, and . I don't think words could ever express all the ways that you make our lives better 🌈🐞🌻

To all the Mummys, Mamas, and Mums...

Mothers who have lost, Mothers parenting living siblings and wishing they could be in two places at once Mothers longing to be Mothers, Mothers who miss their Mother.

To each of you that have a piece of your heart missing. I hope today you have had a gentle day. Please know how held and how loved you are. We are a broken group, but with all our little pieces, we sure make up something special.

Today, on International Bereaved Mothers Day, we take time to recognise all of the Mothers who do not have their child or children in their arms next Sunday 🌈

Next Sunday, I will wake up to celebrate Mothers Day. Two of my children will be there, excited to celebrate me. They are beautiful and want to make me feel special. There is just one problem. When I wake, I see two children. One is missing. Every day, one of my babies is missing. But, this day, "Mothers Day," all the focus is on me. A whole day about me. A whole day about being a Mum. A whole day that I am reminded that my Archie is not here.

I will push through, even though I may cry a few times, because my babies want to celebrate me. They don't need me to be sad. I am grateful that I have two children here that I can hug and kiss, but that doesn't take away from the fact that one of my children is not here.

So, today, I will allow myself a day to feel. I will allow myself the space and grace to be a "Bereaved Mummy," and I won't feel guilty about being sad.

Mummas, I hope that today you will take time for yourself and allow yourself to grieve. But I hope that between the pain, there will be some moments to reflect and smile. Whatever you are doing, please be gentle on yourself and remember that you have an amazing community around you that is here for you as a support and a bubble of love and understanding 🥹

Sending you so many rainbows and an extra big virtual hug...Dee 🌈🐞🌻

Happy Easter to you and yours 🐣

Thinking of all those parents who will not see their little people hunt for Easter eggs or wipe chocolate smeared faces and siblings that don't get to fight their brother or sister for that final tiny egg. It's all the moments, big and little, that we miss 🫶🏽 I hope today is gentle on you 🐰🩷🌈

Archie-David Jude ✨️🌈🐞🌻✨️

Today is Say Their Name Day. A day created by to raise awareness of all forms of pregnancy, baby and child loss, and support for bereaved families 🧡

Archies name echo's through our home every.single.day. That is the way it has always been, and will always be. I am so grateful for the people that continue to say Archies name, talk about him, ask about him, and share Archie moments with me. Thankyou for keeping my boy alive ✨️

To my beautiful friends in the baby loss community, thankyou for sharing your babies with me. To me, they are all Archies friends, and they, aswell as you, hold a huge space in my heart 🫶🏽

I am extremely lucky to be surrounded by the most amazing women in the world ✨

From the little ladies, to the adult women, each one of them, in their own way, strengthens me, lifts me, and inspires me. Each one of them adds a little bit of magic to this world, and that magic makes the world we live in a better place to be.

I continue to be blown away by my fellow loss Mums. They are the women that battle through each day, sometimes finding it hard to simply take a breath, but they still step up and do what has to be done. So many of them are making huge impacts to this world in the names of their beautiful babies and children. Women that have been so broken, yet they try their best to make this world a little less broken for others. Those women and the women that raise them up and support them.....they are my heroes 🩷

So, on this International Women's Day, let us be the women we want to see. Let us give eachother the support and the strength that we need to make this happen. Let us add our little bit of magic to the world so that it is full of all the most beautiful pieces of each and every one of us 🥰

Happy International Women's Day ###

On Saturday the 1st of February, it was 14 years without holding you in my arms. 14 years ago today, the 4th of February, we celebrated your life. That day was the last time I saw your beautiful little face in real life, touched your funny foot and held your little clenched hands in mine 🥺

14 years and it still feels so raw.

Living without you, the things that hit hard are ever changing. After you went to the rainbow, I found it hard to see brothers the same age as you and Will. It broke my heart and made me angry, sometimes as single emotions, but often together. For the last 6 months, it has been a struggle seeing teenage brothers together. Not just teenagers, but older brothers aswell. It knocks me when I am watching a show or a movie and there are brothers supporting eachother through breakups, annoying the crap out of their Mum, standing side by side as they get married to the love of the life, or simply just sitting together spending time.

These things, simple things, these are the things breaking my heart over the past few months. My heart breaks for your sister aswell, but the pain that I feel for your brother actually takes my breath away. It's not fair and I hate it. Brothers should have a lifetime together. Siblings should have a lifetime together. As time going on and you all grow. I look to the future and what should be, but never will. Grandchildren I will never meet, cousins that will never play together, nieces and nephews that will never be spoilt by their aunty and uncle.

But. While I wish more than anything that I could have you here with Will and Olive, I know that there are so many things that would never have happened if my wish had come true. So many things that would never have come about if you were still in my arms.

I am grateful for the beauty and magic that you continue to bring to our world. A magic so strong that, even without being here in body, you are able to make an impact ✨️

You are everything my Archie man. A third of my heart. My hero. My Sunshine.

I love you and miss you more than all the grains of sand in the world... Mummy 🌈🐞🌻

The first exciting announcement of 2025...

Rainbow Circle-'Stroll and Chat' 🌈

'Stroll and Chat' will be held on the second Saturday of every month. It is a great way to welcome the whole family to our little community. Bring along the kiddies, partners, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and everyone in between! A beautiful, relaxed way for our bereaved families and those around them to connect, share with, and support each other 🧡

I know that in my family, we all grieve the loss of Archie 🐞 From the moment that I had the idea to start TWBR, twelve and a half years ago now, it was so important to me to include the whole family. Although Arch is my son, he is loved, celebrated, and missed by so many. While siblings and grandparents have always been at the forefront of who I long to support, so are cousins, aunties, uncles, and friends who are family. I feel it is so important for the people in our lives to also have the support they need as they support us and grieve for the loss of their little love aswell 🫶🏽

I have so many ideas and hopes of how to provide support to our community. But, as I am just one person, I thought that a little afternoon stroll and chat would be a good place to start. A nice way to have some relaxed conversations or simply just be in the company of others who get it....plus we can get our steps in 🤗

I look forward to seeing our Rainbow Circle OG community and meeting their family, if they feel comfortable bringing them along 💚 We are all ready and waiting with open arms, to welcome other bereaved families into a community that already has so much love for eachother 🥰

I hope to see you there 🌈

A week of celebrating this amazing girl 🫶🏽 Never far from my side, unless she is with her cousins, she drives me absolutely crazy but together, we are a great team. You have two big brothers who love you to bits and are always there to keep you grounded. With Will and Arch around, I know I am covered for these high school years to come 🧐😂 (Note the orange ladybeetle on Olive's formal dress.....her brother had to crash her big night!)

Olive, I am so proud of the way you have taken on your primary school years. We did not know how they would look or where you may end up. It hasn't been easy, but you have a strength and resilience that shines through you every day. This year, you have pushed yourself out of your comfort zone, thrown yourself in the deep end, and not just survived, but completely thrived 💚

You, my girl, have been a force to be reckoned with since the moment you were born. To watch that force grow as you grow is an absolute honour. I am, without a doubt, not ready for the next step. Terrified is an understatement. But, there is no stopping it. It's coming in fast! So I'll ride these tears like a wave and see where they take us.

We are both surrounded by so much love and support. Our tribe is one like no other. I am beyond grateful for each and every one of you! You have lifted us and helped calm us as we have navigated these years. When the meltdowns were flowing, you brought us back down to earth, given us a hug and a kick up the butt and moved us forward. Thankyou for always being there 🥹

Congratulations on your final day of primary school today ✔️ You have done it so well, and I can't wait to watch you grow as you step into this next chapter 🫣 Love you girl chaaaald 🌟😘🌟

I don't know if I can handle the excitement!!!! I have been waiting for this little teaser 🤩

So many emotions 🙈 Literally nearly jumping out of my skin while also tearing up 🥹 And it's all because of one lunatic little alien and a beautiful island halfway across the world 🏝

Stitch and Hawaii make me so happy. I am completely obsessed with the pair of them! They hit me with all the magic right in the core of my soul....they feel like home 🫶🏽

After Arch went to the Rainbow, we went to Hawaii. I had been there before, but this time hit different. I saw him in everything, and I felt him everywhere 🧡

Arch was in the music, in the colours, in the relaxed tone of the voices of the beautiful people we met, in the still water and the waves, in the turtle that popped up to say hi (and scared the crap out of me!), in the laughter and joy of the children playing on the sand, in the sound of the gentle strums of the ukulele, the smell of the flowers, the green of the giant monstera leaves. He was everywhere. Everywhere, except in my arms. Yet the happiness that I felt outweighed the sadness, even after watching his soul drift off only 5 months prior to our sunny trip away.

We have been back once since then, and the feeling is exactly the same. I am home and my boy is right there with me. I love it so much that I am tentative to ever go back. This probably sounds completely ridiculous, but as much as I love it, when it's time to leave, my heart hurts. I am sure that in a life before this one, Arch and I shared a long and happy life together in Hawaii. A life that wasn't cut so painfully short for my boy as this one was.

I know that there was a time when Hawaii was our home. My soul tells me so. The Island is overflowing with memories. Memories that I can't get to, but I know they are tucked in tight somewhere for the safest of keeping. Hawaii bring to life little sparks that reignite my soul and try so hard to heal that third of my heart that is completely broken.

All of these feelings came flooding in just from watching this 35-second teaser this morning. So much happiness, so much heartache, and both of them co-existing at exactly the same time. Grief and triggers are endless and can hit you in the weirdest and most annoying of ways. Today, I am thankful that the trigger, while it brought some sadness, was able to make me laugh out loud and feel a huge amount of excitement. So many feelings! And all of them because of a magical Island far away, a cheeky blue alien and a little orange ladybeetle that changed my life forever 🏝 💙🌈🐞
