Yes, Halleli Grace.Hasn‘t Jinger had one too?
yes, the first one they gave the name River, but I don't remember if they knew the gender.Am I right in thinking this is her second loss? So tough.
River was an early loss and they didn’t know the sex of the babyyes, the first one they gave the name River, but I don't remember if they knew the gender.
All of the eldest sisters (married ones) have had at least 1 loss that they’ve been public about. Josiah and Lauren lost their 1st early on tooHasn‘t Jinger had one too?
It’s a bit OTT isn’t itI obviously feel so so sorry for her, but having read her book I just feel so aghast at the publicity she's giving to this loss, pictures at the graveside, it just leaves a sour taste.
16 weeks. It's not unusal to have a coffin or a funeral you will labour and deliver the baby and the placenta. Then your body goes through a post partum recovery, some women's milk even comes in. It's not the same as an early miscarriage.I want to be nice and say everyone grieves differently- and I DO believe that, but this is VERY public for something that is devastating for family. Any baby loss is obviously very sad no matter what stage of pregnancy- all those hopes and excitement. But I thought she was about 14 weeks along? I may have that wrong and I'm not trying to minimise her grief AT ALL, but its unusual to have a coffin and funeral for a loss that early isn't it?
\But then if it helps them, I guess its their business. Just think its all a bit public, which I personally, find odd.
I thought that you couldn't have a funeral/burial in the UK unless they were 24 weeks plus. I'm glad if that's not the case. Its so sad for anyone to lose a baby at any stage. Hopefully the service and funeral that the Dillards held will help them grieve.16 weeks. It's not unusal to have a coffin or a funeral you will labour and deliver the baby and the placenta.

Most Cemeteries in the UK will have baby area, that's where a lot of these babies are buried, alongside still births and young babies that pass.
They had so little of life a resting place and a name is all we can give them in the end.
I don't know if it's all hospitals but ours you have the option of a cremation between 12 and 24 weeks. Over that I think it's a legal burial but I'm not 100%I thought that you couldn't have a funeral/burial in the UK unless they were 24 weeks plus. I'm glad if that's not the case.

I hope she give herself time to heal before getting pregnant again.
Yes you can bury pre- 24 week babies in cemeteries in the UK and many maternity hospitals will have links with local undertakers that arrange it all for you.I thought that you couldn't have a funeral/burial in the UK unless they were 24 weeks plus.

Yes. My best friend delivered stillborn identical twin girls at 19 weeks. She held a funeral for them. They had matching tiny coffins and she had bought two identical dolls dresses (they were so small) which were like lttle Communion or flowergirls frocks. Rather than a wreath I had my favourite florist make up two tiny bouquets of pink tea rosebuds & jasmine. My friend got me to help her dress the babies. Then we laid the bouquets in the coffins with them.16 weeks. It's not unusal to have a coffin or a funeral you will labour and deliver the baby and the placenta.

That was so kind, brave and supportive of you.Yes. My best friend delivered stillborn identical twin girls at 19 weeks. She held a funeral for them.

It was as if we were giving them a chance to do one of the milestone things in a little girl's life. Dressing in a princess gown, carrying a bouquet, feeling pretty and admired. And she did take photographs though those were only shared with her husband and myself. But she did ask borh Grandmothers if they wanted to be a part of the dressing or see the photos and they said no.
I'm not going to lie, at the time I felt odd & awkward but it was what she wanted to do and she had asked me to help her. If all you can do for a grieving parent is something so simple but it makes you feel uncomfortable, do it anyway. It did help her and I would do the same again if anyone I care for asked.
As others have said, everyone grieves differently.
About damn time! Personally I think jana should.tin for the hills!Seems as though Jana has moved into a tiny house/cottage on the Duggar compound. At least it’s better than room sharing with half a dozen teen sisters like some sort of summer camp dorm supervisor
