not trying to be a DB, but did they include a picture? Because I encountered that once on an internet board, and it was highly controversial. I found it highly disturbing, personally. Don't know if that person went so far as to do an obit, though.

I totally agree.

Plus, almost everybody gets an obit, and this doesn't seem out of line with some of the ones you see any day in the Post.

Anyone who can pay gets a death notice, but if everyone who miscarried a baby had a death notice published, there wouldn't be room for anyone else in that section.

Michelle D. miscarried this baby that stopped growing at 16 weeks. That is a miscarriage, not a stillbirth.

What is so different between a d 16w and 21w old fetus? I am pro-choice but if I was pregnant with a wanted baby and lost it at 16 weeks, after feeling "it" move, seeing the sonogram, arms, hands, etc... I might morn it enough to feel the need for a burial/death notice. For each their own.

To each their own, indeed. Anyone can put anything in a newspaper, assuming the newspaper is willing.

In 50 years, however, I have never once until now seen a death notice for a miscarried fetus.

I have to agree - the baby wasn't born still. This was a miscarriage and I am little weirded out about the burial part on many levels.

I did like the first name they selected though.

You make no sense.

She didn't carry to full term, only to deliver a stillborn. After 20 weeks, it's a stillbirth.

She miscarried. Why would you put in a obit/death notice? My friend miscarried in September. over and done with . . . painful, of course - But there is no need to go this far.

Jubilee Shalom?

peaceful rejoicing?

What a mean-spirited thread, OP.

Honestly, I feel any family is entitled to mourn the loss of a wanted child. I wasn't exactly looking for this obit and I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't posted it.

I totally agree.

I feel for anyone who has a miscarriage, no matter what I think of her personally and no matter how many kids she already has, but really, this is over the top fame-mongering.

TONTITOWN — Jubilee Shalom Duggar entered into the presence of Jesus Dec. 2, 2011. She was stillborn at 11:46 p.m. on Dec. 11, 2011, weighing 4 oz. and was 6 cm. in length.

She is survived by her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar; grandma, Mary Duggar; siblings, Josh, Jana, John, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn and Josie; sister-in-love, Anna Duggar; niece, Mackynzie; nephew, Michael; and lots of cousins and extended family members.

She is joined in heaven by both of her maternal grandparents, Garrett and Ethel Ruark; and her paternal grandfather, J.L. Duggar.

The Duggar family is so grateful for the outpouring of love shown to them and they will be celebrating Jubilee’s life in a private memorial service with family and friends. Jubilee will be buried at Fairview Memorial Gardens in Fayetteville.
