The Duggar's had their most difficult episode of "19 Kids And Counting" Yet. On March 27th, during the season finale, Michelle Duggar shared sad news with the world. She miscarried her 20th child. For those who do not watch the show, during the last episode the Duggar parents gathered the family to tell them that they were heading to an ultrasound to find out the gender of the baby.
At the ultrasound, they got the heart wrenching news that there was no heartbeat. The baby, a girl, was dead. The Duggars permitted filming to go on as they told their children the sad news. It was a heart breaking scene. The father gathered the children as the little ones excitedly asked if it was a boy or a girl. No one could wait to hear the gender of the baby. As the parents shared the news, their little hearts broke.
Michelle opted to allow her body to have a natural miscarriage. The family tried to keep her comfortable as she lay in bed. After Michelle lost the baby, she and the family named her Jubilee. Soon after that, the family held a funeral for the baby. A heart breaking image of a tiny hand, Jubilee's hand, holding Michelle's finger circulates the web. The image is a reminder that an unborn baby is a little person, in this case a person that never got to live her life.
TLC has attempted to be supporting and patient though this tragedy and assures "19 Kids & Counting" will be back for another season.
