After being diagnosed with cancer in January 2018, the message revealed Douthit found joy in sharing her “brightest light” through her Instagram posts.
“We watched her get up everyday in the darkest hours of the night to spread the brightest light that she knew of, her Savior Jesus Christ,” the family wrote. “There were times when she wrote her posts through pain and confusion. There were times at the end when she couldn’t type and would ask her daughters to type for her but she would not give up spreading the gospel message of hope. In nearly two years, she never missed her daily post…tomorrow she will.”
Douthit’s followers and Teen Mom fans alike made sure to send well-wishes her family’s way.

So happy for you!” one person wrote. “I will be praying for your family my God’s overwhelming peace be with them and help them through this hard time for them and that they would be reminded everyday of how you are now in a perfect body walking alongside Jesus.”
