🌈 The Rainbow After the Storm

There are moments when grief feels endless — when the storm within us shows no sign of clearing. The sky stays heavy, the light feels far away, and we wonder if we will ever breathe easily again.

And then, one day, there’s a rainbow.

It might appear in the sky after a sudden downpour, or it might arrive in gentler ways — in a song that plays at just the right time, in a memory that brings both tears and comfort, in a dream that feels like a visit. These rainbows are not always made of colour and light. Sometimes, they are made of love that refuses to fade.

For many bereaved parents, the rainbow has become a sacred symbol. It speaks of hope after heartbreak, of beauty emerging from pain, of connection that endures beyond what we can see. A rainbow reminds us that our children are still with us — just in another form.

Esther’s Rainbow was born from this truth. It is a space where the rain still falls, but where the light also finds a way through. It honours both: the ache of loss and the quiet strength that grows in its wake. Here, we remember that love does not end when a life does. It transforms. It bends and stretches, like light through rain, until it reaches us again.

And perhaps that’s what life, after loss, is really about — not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain. To live alongside our grief. To let it soften us, deepen us, and teach us how to find small moments of joy even when the sky is still grey.

The rainbow does not erase the storm — it follows it.

And in that simple truth lies the promise that we are never alone, not in our grief, not in our love, and not in the long, winding journey of healing.
