Rainbow Circle 🌈

'Rainbow Circle' is a free local community event, held on the 4th Saturday of each month and hosted by Nadine from 'There Will Be Rainbows'.  

It brings together other Mothers in the community that have experienced the loss of a baby or child. We welcome anyone that has lost at any stage of their pregnancy, be it miscarriage, TFMR or stillbirth, aswell as infant or child loss of any age. Nadine is extremely passionate about all things grief and loss and has created 'Rainbow Circle' as a safe space for all Mothers to come together in a space filled with love and support.

There are no words to express the beautiful feeling that flows through the room at our 'Rainbow Circle'. Mothers sitting in loss, surrounded and held with so much love. We sit and listen with open hearts. Honest and valuable advice is shared and received with warmth and gratitude.

Little pieces of our precious children and their stories are shared with other Mothers who fully understand our feelings. No judgement, just peace, silence and an unconditional love and appreciation for what others in the room have been through. Have been through, are going through and will forever be in the midst of.....a grief that no-one can understand unless you have stepped into those shoes and walked the life-long path of miscarriage, stillbirth, baby-loss and child-loss.

We share things about our lives that we thought were our own, only to learn that it was the norm for a loss parent. Things that hadn't necessarily sat comfortably with us, but we were finally able to find comfort in, knowing that we were not alone in our feelings and thoughts. Not alone in the way we react to situations and the way we deal with our grief and trauma.

There is so much comfort in knowing you are not alone. Knowing that there are others out there that feel like you do. It is OK to not be OK. And for parents that have to live a lifetime with a portion of their heart missing, not being OK does last a lifetime.

To sit in the presence of the women in that circle is a experience that will be with me forever. To sit in their presence will be something I will be forever grateful for.

We will also be finding a way to facilitate a 'Rainbow Circle' for Dads, Grandparents and Siblings. I know that, eventually, it will also extend to other members of the family. It is an important service and our community deserves all the support we can offer 🌈🐞🌻

Stroll and Chat' will be held on the second Saturday of every month. It is a great way to welcome in 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 eachother 🧡
