Remembering Jubilee Duggar

Two years ago on November 8th, the Duggars announced on NBC's Today Show that they were expecting their 20th child. On December 2, 2011, Jubilee Shalom Duggar entered into the presence of Jesus. She was stillborn at 11:46 p.m. on December 11, 2011, weighing 4 oz and measuring 6 cm in length.

In memory of Jubilee, Caleb, and all the other infants who have been stillborn, we have embedded the audio version of Michelle's letter to Jubilee and a YouTube music video of a song that helped her cope with her miscarriage.

"I will Carry You" by Selah

Lyrics:

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

[Chorus]

I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says ...

I've shown her photographs of time beginning
Walked her through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love her like this?

[Chorus]

    1. WHAT??? Oh my, i did not know Michelle was expecting again, maybe God will bless them with twins again, just like last time she miscarried, she had Jana and Josh afterword. MaybeMaybe she is on bed rest this time or has the same medical intervention that Kelly Bates gets to help keep the fetus viable. I will pray with all my heart that she has a healthy delivery. Congratulations! GodBless you all! Sincerely, Natalie and Linda ;>} :<) ;*รพ

  11. @ElenaElena, sorry to burst your bubble but neither Michelle or Anna are pregnant. I'm not sure why you got the idea that they were. The post was just a memorial of the passing of their last child, two years ago.

    1. I wasnt sure if that was tru either, til i googled it, and the Duggars announced it in October, and she is due in April. I was surprised too. Nat and Linda

    2. They announced it this year in October, 2013

    3. I googled it too, 99% of sources make no mention of Michelle being pregnant. There was no announcement on the Today show, no mention on TLC or the duggars own website. Only one source made the claim. and commentors on that article have pointed out flaws in the article. not only that, if she was pregnant, it would of been all over cyberspace by now. There are so many flaws in what you say its laughable. Where is your proof? Quite frankly its nothing but a rumor,fulled by a bogus source, sucked up by very gullible readers, and sadly, was 'brought to light' just on the 2year anniversary of Jubilee's death. If you have proof that there was such an announcement, then have the courtesy to site your source. otherwise have some decemcy and respect and keep it to yourself.

  14. That's hilarious, on the same day that us weekly posted on their website that Michelle Duggar says she is NOT pregnant, medical daily post on the same day that she IS pregnant. (Both October 9 2013) Infact the majority of websites posted on that very day say she is NOT pregnant. I methinks you've all been duped if you think she is. The fact that TLC has not mentioned it either is a big clue. So, sorry, but Michelle or Anna being pregnant is just a rumor

  15. I have had 10 losses. My boy I lost at 16 weeks is really the only one I speak about. I can talk about him by myself without crying. But when I sing didn't even know my name by George Canyon in front of people I cry every time. So sorry for her losses. It is painful to the heart at any stage.

  16. @Anonymous:-( so sorry for your losses, I've never had one myself. But I can't imagine the pain and sorrow that goes with it. Blessings.

  17. Thank you for this post. I cried listening to that song. I cried for Jubilee. but also for the three children that I have lost this past year. I take comfort in Michelle's words that they too filled their life's purpose in such a short time. And I hope to meet them in Heaven.

  19. Isn't it funny how the anonymous people that post rude things dont have the guts to show their name. Why are you so sad with life, the Duggars sure aren't. I pray that you could b That happy, if you we're , then u would not say such hateful, awful things. Bless your soul, there's no need to litter up this site is there? GodBless You and yours bope you find peace, love and happiness just like the Duggars. Sincerely, Natalie and Linda Violente

  20. @Anonymous For one of the daughters to be pregnant they would have to 'do the deed' outside of marriage, and the girls have more brains than to do that ;-)

  21. @Linda and NatalieIf you were referring to my earlier comments. I was merely asking for the source of an apparent 'Michelle is pregnant' rumor to be revealed. The Duggars I am sure have enough rumors flying around about them. And while Michelle is coming to terms with not being physically able to bear more children, it's rumors like that , that can hurt, and make the whole idea harder to come to terms with. My conclusion Is you are unable to verify the reliability of the ounce, so to save face you are throwing accusations at someone else. Being a mother of many is not easy, and it's women like Michelle who deserve respect. And to clarify, I'm not a Duggar hater, quite the contrary. My beliefs are very similar to the Duggars.

    1. So sorry if u misunderstood, i was not commenting about your statement at all it was someone elses. However , I really appreciate your sentiment, Godspeed to u and yours ;>}

  22. I can see where some of u thought that Michelle might b pg. Knowone will know for sure till the seanon starts,because of the contract agreement they have with TlC.Also if Lily and Ellie new for absolute positive it was false that some of u thought that, then i'm sure they would have chimed in promptly. I just started reading these posts a few days ago and am enjoying most blogs. I especially enjoy Natali and Lindas positive point of views on the Duggars, you are right, no need for negative people, thats not what this site is about. Bless everyone, Talia Dukes
