TheRoad to the Rainbow

If you are visiting this page because you or a loved one have experienced miscarriage or infant loss, please let us first say we are so sorry and you are not alone. TheRoad to Rainbow is a program started by women who have suffered the loss of baby and understand the chasm of grief you are facing. Whether you are a mother, grandmother, sister, friend, or anyone else impacted by such a loss, we want to walk beside you in faith and fellowship during your journey of grief. Our sincerest prayer is to help provide you HOPE and to give all our heavenly babies a legacy of love and remembrance. 

Get involved

This team exists to walk with families through miscarriage and infant loss. Sign up if any of these fit you:
• You have lost a child and want support.
• You know someone who has lost a child and needs help.
• You have been through loss and want to be a listening ear for others.

Your story matters. Your presence helps. Your willingness to listen brings hope.

Purpose: To provide HOPE, fellowship, and resources to moms and other family members who have suffered miscarriage or infant loss. 

H –   Healing. To receive healing through God’s love and the knowledge that you are not alone in this loss journey. “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 73:26. “This is what the Lord, the God of your father David says: ‘I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.’” 2 Kings 20:5. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3.

O – Overcome. To help you overcome your personal battle of grief and the other emotions like loneliness, anxiety, shame, and anger that often accompany loss of child. To remember that God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent and has conquered the grave. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1.

P – Peace. To find peace and comfort of spirit after the storm. To hear that you can and will find peace even while you are in the midst of the chasm of grief. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27. “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Mark 5:34.

E – Encouragement. To find encouragement and become a part of a community that encourages all those impacted by the loss of a child through faith, compassion, acts of service, and prayers. “May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13. “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2.

Meet our CORE CARE Team:

Nicole Nash: At around 8 weeks of my first pregnancy, I was told my HCG levels were 0 and I had likely had a miscarriage. An ultrasound revealed a healthy heartbeat but also a large internal bleed, which put me at high-risk for miscarriage. My constant prayer to God was to please let me meet my child. At 19 weeks the bleed was gone, and the doctors said baby and I looked absolutely healthy. At 24 weeks, I went into spontaneous labor and gave birth to a sweet 1 lb 8 oz baby boy, James Richard Nash. At 9 days old, James suffered a grade IV brain bleed and at 10 days old, my husband, Daniel, and I made the heart wrenching decision to baptize our son and take him off life support. The pain was and is immense but God was with us every step of way. This grief is the hardest journey I have ever faced. It took 7 years before I could sit by my son’s grave and hum, “It is well with my soul.” Though not in the way I had hoped, I see now that God answered my prayer and view those 10 cherished days with our son as a gift. We now are ultra-blessed with three little girls – our rainbow babies.

    · Note from Core Care Team member Nicole Nash: When we had to take our 10-day old son off life support, this Foundation sent photographs to the NICU hospital twice on the same day at our request: for his baptism and for his passing. And at no cost. They were professional and caring and patient and gave us the most beautiful pictures of our son. I cannot say enough good things about this organization.
