Peace after loss- Michelle Duggar 2011

In the days after the death of our son Joshua, we received a letter from Sara's father to Joshua. It was a beautiful expression of his desire to see his little grandson. I have posted the response here, "A letter from Heaven"  In the days since the loss of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's daughter Jubilee Shalom, Michelle has written a letter to the baby. The post below explains more. Please read the entire article here.

"She continued on to share, "We have so much to be thankful for. I know that in the days and weeks to come there will be other things that I will walk though, and grief that will come, and there will be times that we will worship and sing praises. I know that God will allow me to continue to release the emotions that I will release." During the service taking place in Springdale, Arkansas, the wife of Jim Bob Duggar also shared a letter she wrote to her stillborn child."

We found the expression of our feelings through writing to be very helpful in the grieving process, and encourage others that are having a hard time talking through the very intense and painful emotions involved in the death of a child to consider writing. There is no one thing that helps everyone, and so we hope that this may be a tip that helps your family. Please feel free to write to us and share your story, we would love to pray for you and maybe be some help.
