Jinger, Jessa, & Joy: Duggar Sisters on Miscarriage, Baby Loss, and Grieving with Faith | Ep.52

In this deeply personal episode, Jinger sits down with her sisters Jessa and Joy for a raw, heartfelt conversation about miscarriage—something all three have experienced and grieved. Together, they reflect on the heartbreak of discovering their babies were gone, the emotional toll of walking through loss, and the fear that lingers in future pregnancies.

They open up about how they found peace, comfort, and even joy in the midst of sorrow—through faith, through community, and through the unshakable hope of heaven. The sisters also share practical ways to support someone grieving, the vital role of husbands and family, and how to speak honestly with God in times of darkness.

Whether you’ve walked this road or know someone who has, this episode offers a tender reminder: you’re not alone, your grief matters, and there is eternal hope when the cradle is empty.
