Ms. Rachel’s Song About Rainbow Babies Strikes a Sweet Chord With Fans
It's clear many of her followers could relate.Fact checked by Sarah ScottFact checked by Sarah ScottAs joyful as welcoming a new baby is, it’s equally heartbreaking to lose one. Sadly, far too many parents know this pain, and among them is Ms. Rachel, who you likely already know if you have a small child.The entertainer, real name Rachel Griffin Accurso, has 2.2 million Instagram followers, and 11.4 million subscribers on YouTube, many of whom worship her toddler learning videos—as well as her honesty.
Ms. Rachel took to her platforms in September 2024 to reveal that she previously suffered a miscarriage. The kids’ creator is now a mom to Thomas, age 6, whom she shares with her husband, Aron.In a short and sweet video, the influencer serenades her followers with a song about rainbow babies, children born after loss. “My rainbow baby is not a baby anymore but he’ll always be my rainbow baby,” she captions the video, adding, “So much love to anyone who understands.”Ms. Rachel also posted the video on her Instagram Stories along with the caption, "I'm sorry for your loss if you understand this song. Love you.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ms Rachel (@msrachelforlittles)
Judging from the comments, so many of us understand. As a mom who has had four pregnancy losses, I was also struck by how the creator tagged the post with a trigger warning. In my opinion, there are not enough trigger warnings out there for this extremely traumatic subject matter. So, thanks Ms. Rachel.Meanwhile, her tune is simple and soothing: “Rainbow baby, dream come true/Rainbow baby if you knew/Every prayer we said for you/Rainbow baby, dream come true.”Commenters bravely shared their stories, and offered the creator support and praise for normalizing this taboo topic. A sentiment those of us who know the emptiness of loss need to hear was among the top comments: “Holding anyone in my heart who needs love.”So many personal stories confirmed just how many of us go through loss. “My son is a rainbow after seven miscarriages,” one fan courageously shared, adding, “Then we had another a few months before my daughter came to be.”“The worst club to be in, but we are all here with you!” commented another fan. Another shined a light on how many people feel alone after a miscarriage, which is why it’s “so important to bring awareness to this and normalize miscarriage talk as much as possible.”Yet another commenter noted the silver lining of having gone through loss, writing, “Having miscarriages changed the way I now look at motherhood. It's such a privilege to have children.” Finally, I couldn’t agree more with the commenter who said, “Even though it was years ago, the pain of that loss never fades.” Indeed, my rainbow babies are 6 and 3, and I still hug them almost every night, thinking about what miracles they truly are.And not that I need reminding, but I have rainbow wall art hanging in their room as a tribute of sorts to the unique circumstances that brought them into our lives. But my boys can’t replace the babies I lost, or make up for what could have been, and that is a hard truth I walk with every day.Like Ms. Rachel says, if you understand that feeling, my heart goes out to you. May knowing others walk beside you bring just the smallest amount of comfort. For more Parents news, make sure to sign up for our newsletter! Read the original article on Parents.
