In a joint Instagram post earlier this month, Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, announced the stillbirth of their baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard. The couple expressed their love for their daughter and the sadness of losing her in utero, even though she was due in August.

Six days after their devastating loss, Jill and Derick held a memorial service for their daughter. They shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, along with snapshots of items they had purchased for the baby and details from the service. The final video in the series featured an open white box with a note that read, “We will hold you in our hearts until we can hold you in heaven.”
