Jessa Duggar Seawald and her husband, Ben Seawald, have revealed the heartbreaking news that they have suffered a miscarriage with their sixth child. In a raw and emotional video shared with her followers, Jessa explained that the devastating loss was discovered during a routine checkup when a doctor could not find a heartbeat. The couple, who had previously announced the pregnancy with joy, described the immense pain and shock of the experience, which marks the second miscarriage Jessa has endured.
The narrative details the profound grief of both parents. While Ben remained largely silent publicly, only posting a Bible verse from the Book of Job, he was described as being “shattered” by the loss. Jessa openly shared her struggles, including the difficulty of explaining the loss to their other young children and her personal crisis of faith, questioning why this tragedy has happened to her again. The account highlights the couple finding strength in each other through their shared sorrow.
In the wake of the news, the Seawalds received an outpouring of support from both the public and the extended Duggar family, with siblings like Jinger and Jill reaching out and her parents offering comfort. To honor the baby, whose gender was unknown, the couple planted a white rose bush in their yard. Jessa concluded her public message with an act of solidarity, speaking directly to other mothers who have experienced similar losses and assuring them, “You are not alone.”
