Joy-Anna Duggar

It's great to be able to lean on family in trying times.

That's exactly what Joy-Anna Duggar is doing in the wake of her heartbreaking miscarriage.

Joy-Anna Duggar is putting on a brave face these days.

And, at times, she's also stuffing this face with ice cream.

It would be a massive understatement to say that the Duggars are not your typical American family.

The reason reality TV came calling, and the reason that the family has been a fixture on TLC for over a decade is that the Duggars are different enough to be interesting, while still remaining relatable to families who share their ultra-conservative worldview.

If you keep up with the Duggars, then you know that earlier this month, the family announced a devastating loss.

Joy-Anna, who was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child with husband Austin Forsyth, had lost her baby.

Joy-Anna Duggar is nothing if not very, very open on Instagram.

This has always been the case, throughout both good and bad moments in the reality star's life, most notably of late when Joy-Anna and husband Austin Forsyth tragically suffered a miscarriage.

Joy-Anna Duggar will never move on from the tragedy that befell her and husband Austin Forsyth a few weeks ago.

This is simply an awful fact of life for anyone who has suffered a miscarriage.

It's been four years since the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls while he was still in his teens.

The revelation of the crime -- along with the fact that four of Josh's victims were his sisters -- sparked widespread outrage and calls for TLC to cut ties with the family.

As you may have heard, some extremely heartbreaking news came from the Duggar family last week.

Joy-Anna had a miscarriage at 20 weeks pregnant.

Just a few days ago, Joy-Anna Duggar and her husband, Austin Forsyth, shared some unbelievably tragic news:

When they went in for the 20 week scan for Joy-Anna's pregnancy, the doctor couldn't detect a heartbeat.
