Wishing on Rainbows: A Memoir - Hardcover

I didn't get to say goodbye.

To my son. To myself. He was beyond magical and she was pretty cool too.

When Laura Silveira loses her firstborn son, Chase, at six months of age, she loses the person she had been as well. Family and friends don't know what to say or how to help. Awkwardness stains every social situation. Grief and isolation threaten to overwhelm her. In Wishing on Rainbows, Laura shares what happens when a parent's darkest fears become reality. In her grief, she gets pregnant with her "rainbow babies" and discovers her superpower, all while wondering when the pain will end.

Wishing on Rainbows holds a warm hug of empathy and an "I see you" for every grieving parent. With wry humor and heartfelt depth, this celebration of Chase's short life invites you to join in the journey of learning to laugh again in the aftermath of unspeakable loss.
