On Thanksgiving Day 2023, we suffered the unexpected, heartbreaking loss of our daughter Margot Soren Miles at 19 weeks.  After hearing the words no parent should ever have to hear, "I'm sorry, there is no heartbeat", we were plunged into the darkest days of our lives. Despite being surrounded by love and support from family and friends, we struggled to find purpose in those early weeks of our grief.  Isolation and pain became our daily companions and my arms physically ached from the emptiness of being without our baby.

Seeking solace, we began baking bread and weaving blankets for the cold winter months ahead—finding quiet joy and purpose in the act of working with our hands and creating something from nothing.  These simple, but impactful tasks were a soothing reminder that even after loss, creation is still possible.  From this small beginning, Margot’s Mission was born.

We believe that every loss—whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death—deserves to be remembered and honored. By offering grieving parents simple yet meaningful outlets to process their loss, we hope to gently lead them toward healing and hope. Through this journey, we have learned that we are not alone and we seek to bring that same assurance to the 1 in 4 families just like us.
