Rachel is younger, a girl and very similar to Jean (to the point were many people doubt Scott is related to her). Rachel losing Jean was a more meaningful and traumatic experience for her.
Both characters are on different points of their lives regarding each other. Cable is an old guy that has become a father himself. Rachel while an adult too, hasn't figured everything yet. Cable's entire life from the start has been defined by time travel, For Rachel traveling through time/universe was a huge change.
Both could see Jean diferently and she could she different things on each one.
