The heartbreaking picture of Michelle Duggar holding her stillborn baby’s tiny hand
Monday, December 19th, 2011
Friends and family rallied around 19 And Counting stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar yesterday as the couple mourned the loss of the stillborn daughter.
Hundreds gathered for the ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas, held in honour of little Jubilee Shalom.
The reality stars discovered that their 20th child no longer had a heartbeat during a doctors appointment on December 8.
After the memorial, a family member shared a heartbreaking picture on Twitter in her memory – before the online post was later deleted.
The photograph shows Michelle reaching out to touch daughter Jubilee’s tiny hand, with the juxtaposition of size deeply moving.
While Michelle obviously displays a fully grown adult hand, Jubilee’s is incredibly tiny, with her palm half the size of her mother’s finger tip.
Amy Duggar, a cousin who frequently appears on their hit TLC reality show tweeted the picture, saying: ‘RIP precious Jubilee Shalom Duggar! Can’t wait to meet you someday, thank you Lord for giving our family peace.’
