OUR STORY- Inspired by Maggie
Nathan and I were only 20 and 22 when we welcomed our daughter, Margaret "Maggie" Bonnie Dost. We were just beginning our lives together, full of dreams for our little family. Our journey hasn't been easy, but God has shown us that even on the darkest days, His light still leads the way.In December of 2023, we experienced a miscarriage. That loss broke us, but it also brought us closer. We held on to faith even when it hurt, trusting that His plan was bigger than our understanding. Then, just a few months later, in March of 2024, we saw those two pink lines again. I'll never forget that moment. The tears, the disbelief, the anxiety. That's when we found out we were expecting our rainbow baby, Maggie.From the very beginning, she was so deeply loved. My pregnancy was filled with anxiety, but underneath it all was peace, the kind only God can give. I knew Maggie was meant to be here. She was our answered prayer.On November 18, 2024, our beautiful girl made her safe arrival. She was perfect in every way. For 28 precious days, Maggie was surrounded by love. She was held close and cherished by everyone who met her. She brought light into our lives after such a difficult year. On December 16, 2024, our world changed forever. Maggie unexpectedly went home to Jesus. The silence that followed was unlike anything we'd ever felt. We had prayed so hard for her, and letting her go felt impossible.But in that heartbreak, we began to feel God's presence stronger than ever before. Through our pain, He reminded us that His love doesn't take the hurt away, but it gives it purpose. Our faith grew deeper through the grief, and we learned that love doesn't end when life does, it just changes form.Maggie's life continues to make an impact. Through her, we've learned what real love looks like. God has used her story to touch hearts and bring comfort to others walking through loss. We miss our sweet girl every single day, but we hold on to the truth that this isn't the end of her story, or ours. Maggie's legacy lives through every #ForeverMaggie project created in her name"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
- Psalm 34:18
our mission
Our mission was born out of love. A love that didn't end when we lost Maggie, but instead grew into something meant to comfort others. After losing our daughter, we quickly realized how many families experience the same unimaginable pain, often without the support or understanding they need. We want to change that.That's how Maggie's Grief Boxes began- as a way to honor her life by helping others through theirs. Each box is thoughtfully filled with comforting items and keepsakes to bring a small sense of peace through the darkest days. From soft blankets and candles, to handwritten notes and memory items, every detail is chosen with love, because we know how heavy those first days can feel.These boxes are more than gifts. They're reminders. Reminders that your child mattered, that your grief is valid, and that you're not alone. Our hope is that when a family opens a box, they feel the same love we felt holding our Maggie. A love that will forever live on through her.Maggie may not be here in our arms, but she is in everything we do. Her story continues through every family reached, every box delivered, and every heart that finds a little comfort in knowing someone understands. #ForeverMaggie
