About The Rev. Dr. Maggie Izutsu


What if grief were not an occasion for increased loneliness, anxiety, and depression, but instead an opportunity for deep communication, a sense of oneness with all of life, and a place of profound love? What if loneliness itself were largely a matter of unattended grief? What if all of your hatred and ambivalence could find a home in contemplation and turn toward compassion?

Meet The Rev. Dr. Maggie Izutsu, author of the Amazon Best Seller Making the World Safe for Sorrow, and learn about her background and experiences.

“There is no one ‘right’ way to grieve. But some ways might be better than others.”
