"The Symbolic Significance of Rainbow Babies: Exploring Their Emotional Journey"
A rainbow baby is a baby born after the loss of a child due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or another complication. It represents hope after grief and can be a way of honoring the child who is no longer living. While some parents embrace the term "rainbow baby," others may not identify with it. Subsequent pregnancies are unique and come with their own set of challenges, including anxiety and stress related to loss milestones. It is important for friends and family to support loss parents by acknowledging their grief and finding ways to incorporate the child who died into their lives.
