Duggar Miscarriage

SBTibbs · December 2011

I heard on the radio this morning at Michelle Duggar had a miscarriage at just over 19 wks pg. So sad that her family went through so much stress with the premature birth of the last one and now this grief. Seems like enough is enough.

I cannot even imagine. A loss for anyone is horrible-being in the spotlight must make it 100000x worse.

Sad How sad, I can't imagine going through that on such a public level.

I can't help but feel a certain fascinated fondness for the Duggars. I disagree with their stance on birth control (and a lot of their other lifestyle choices) but they seem like sincere people.

All of this. I can't believe how many people are coming out and saying that maybe it should be a sign that they should be done with babies and everything. Regardless of how many kids they have, losing a child is never, ever easy and no one can understand that level of pain until you've been there. (I haven't been there, but even imagining it is painful enough.) Add to it that I'm as far along as she was and that just adds fuel to the fire. I can't imagine.

Agreed. I think that's an awful thing to say. Losing a baby - and one so far along - gracious. I can't imagine.

I feel the same way, Jacki. I disagree with a lot of what they do/think, but I can't help but be fascinated by them. Whether you agree with them or not though, there's no need to be hurtful. I hope people mostly leave them alone with this - it seems like there was a lot of similar harrassment when the most recent kiddo was born, and that at least had a positive outcome.

Yeah, as much as I disagree with a lot of their beliefs, they do seem to have a pretty well-adjusted, well-behaved group of children. So, they must know what they're doing...

What a terrible loss for them - the fact that people could look at this as a "sign" is just sad.

My heart broke for her when I heard this. How sad, especially so far along and in the public spotlight. I read that they'll name the baby and have a funeral - I can't even imagine.
