Duggar Memorial Photos

  All of you people saying such hateful things have probably never had to face the pain of a miscarriage or the death of an infant. The truth is that LOTS of people take photos of their stillborn children, all you have to do is google the support groups to see some of these pics. There is nothing "disturbing" about grieving the loss of a child whether it be before of after the child's birth. All the venom here is just another sad example of how little respect is given to life these days. When we lose respect for life, we lose all meaning to have life.

  Shame on them! Somethings are personal not public. I am sorry for their loss but stop having children before Jim Bob becomes single parent. Enjoy and take care of the children you have instead of jeopardizing your life by continuing to become pregnant. Michelle & Jim Bob wake up! God would want you to be there for your existing children and to watch them grow & mature. Stop publicizing your hardships which are caused by your own selfishness.

  Morve...This was a baby. You must not have ever lost a baby. Carrying one 5 months, 7 months or 9 months. It's still a baby. I know. I lost one myself. It was my baby. Just like she was their baby. She had sex and a name. If it were not a baby, God would have not given her a body. Show some respect for some people that have lost some children. Have a heart. Just remember...one time you were a fetus. Would you say you were a baby at that time? YES YOU WERE!

  These people are NOT grieving their foetus.Because that is what it was.A foetus expelled from a uterus.If they were so bloody upset they would not have been able to put this ridiculous photo opportunity together.Hell even in the death of this foetus they manage to turn it into a publicity stint. Disgusting attention seeking parasites.

  I like the Duggers they are very sweet people. 9 year's ago i had my last child. I have 3 childern in all. But anyway i had to get fixed cause it was life threating if i had another baby, i didn't want to get fixed, but i did so i could have my time with kid's i do have. I would love to have more but i know there was noway possible. Michelle and Jim Bob has there believe's and i for respect them for it. But i fear for Micheel life if she tries to have any more.. they should be happy for the 19 they do have, and spend time with them..

  When are people going to learn. Just because it's not something we would or would not do, doesn't make it wrong or right. Everyone has there own way of doing things. I don't believe in abortions but i would never put a person down for having one. People need to mind their own business and take care of their own famlies. Who are we to judge some one elses life.

  I don't see anything wrong with what they did! The were just showing how precious life is! If they want to do this then let them. If this was a stupid actor or politician then the public would say it's ok! But, since they are Believers in Christ then they are shamed and called all kinds of names! Shame on you people for saying they are nothing but plublicity whores and insane bizzaro's!!! Well, I want to tell you that I'm an insane bizzaro because I'm a follower of christ!

  How beautiful is this family who cherishes LIFE and can say goodbye to one of their own by honoring the life with a small tribute. Life today has been made too cheap by society. They have a spirit about them that is not like the world. A wonderful example to families and single moms. Every life counts no matter how small and young nor old and feeable; poor or rich. Life is precious and you realize that all the more when you've had to say goodbye too soon. May the Lord of all comfort and compassion pour out His grace upon them all; especially Michelle.

  The Duggers are one of the most dedicated, loving parents I have seen. How can anyone denegrate them for honoring this baby? This is their choice, and not for us to decide. Michelle will continue having children until The Lord decides she is finished.

  There are no words to truly describe the tiny feet and hands of the precious Jubilee! She just needed to come to earth to gain her body and go back to our loving Father in Heaven. Her sweet loving parents will someday be able to raise her in Heaven. What a celebration that will be!! Please, no more negative comments need to be posted on any available site to put down this wonderful family, the Duggars. It is between them and the Lord as to how many children given to them to raise. NOT ours!! Thank you!!!

  The only thing I see in these photos is love for a child lost.

  I have lost 4 babies (2 tubal pregnancies as well) but would NEVER have taken photos or had a memorial service. God gave me these pregnancies and He took them away. I don't think there needs to be a public spectacle made of it. Say a quiet goodbye and go on. I have healthy children and really dont' think about the miscarriages much. It happened. It is overwith. I truly see them as hoarders...some people hoard pets, these people hoard children. And make millions doing so. How are they different from Octomom? or Kate plus 8? We are the ones that make them who they are by watching them week after week. These pics are gross IMO. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right?!

  initially, when I first heard about the postings, I was somewhat disturbed. After more thought, I feel that the Duggars' postings are nothing more than parents' grieving for their child. I too lost a child at 20 weeks. This was long ago, before the possibilities of pictures, etc. I still miss that child and wish I could've been given the option of having pictures or a funeral. I had to have emergency surgery as I was hemoraging. No one gave me any information, I don't even know if I had a girl or boy. Not knowing anything is much more disturbing than what the Duggars have chosen to do. Ultimately, the decisions we make are between us and God. Don't be so quick to judge, especially if you haven't walked in their/our shoes.
