Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar visited their stillborn daughter’s gravesite
On Wednesday, October 16, Jill Duggar took to Instagram to share a clip of herself, Derick, and their youngest son, Freddie Dillard as they chose flowers. This was not a match of caprice, however a bittersweet tribute.
“We just got the call that Isla’s marker is ready and it has been placed,” Jill shared on her social media web page, as you possibly can see under.
Jill then continued: “So we are gonna run over to her cemetery and go see her marker for the first time, give her some fresh flowers.”
The video, as you possibly can see, is pretty brief. We see Jill, Derick, and Freddie arrive on the cemetery. Their 2-year-old son then helps them to set the flowers by Isla’s memorial marker.
The marker itself reads: “Isla Marie Dillard, March 19, 2024. Born into the arms of Jesus.”
Then, the marker provides: “Loved & missed by her papa and mama & 3 big brothers.”

“Looks lovely,” one Instagram commenter started. “Your Little Guardian Angel always looking after you All. Sending you All hugs!”
“You picked a beautiful stone for her,” one other Instagram person wrote. “25 years later and my mom and I still put flowers at my sister’s stone. Sending you all strength and love!!”
A further commenter affirmed: “What a lovely day to celebrate your precious little lady’s life. You will see her again one day. Hugs to you all.”
In April of 2024, Jill Duggar shared that she and her household had held a funeral service following the stillbirth. Amongst different issues, she shared a photograph of a small white field.
“Isla Marie, our baby girl,” she labeled the collage of photographs. “We will love you forever & hold you in our hearts until we hold you in heaven.”
Jill added: “Laid to rest 4.19.2024.” Which makes October 19 the six-year anniversary of the memorial, although not of the stillbirth itself.

Grief is a troublesome factor, however it’s a part of therapeutic
This isn’t Jill’s first time experiencing such a loss. In 2021, earlier than the beginning of Freddie, she and Derick mourned a miscarriage, revealing that they might have named their little one River Bliss.
Many individuals — and religions and cultures — share all kinds of beliefs about stillbirths and miscarriages. In Jill’s case, her fundamentalist upbringing and present beliefs result in her treating these losses as she would possibly deal with dropping one among her residing kids, albeit one whom she has by no means met.
Equally, she (and a number of other of her commenters) believes in an afterlife during which her soul will meet these would-be kids, alongside different deceased family members. We hope that these beliefs and the love of her household convey her consolation as she processes her grief.
