I’ve known Maggi for many years. She is a healer. She has helped me immensely during the death of my son. It took me a few years to go to a grief group and when I was ready, I went to one of Maggi’s groups. I believe that I started to heal the deeper pain after that session. Her soothing approach as well as her fair-mindedness helped me to learn about grief and how to navigate a world without my son. I learn by listening to the others in the group as well and Maggi makes room for what comes up in the moment as well as supplying helpful tools and suggestions. I couldn’t do this without her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is “coming to” after the shock of a loss.

When I experienced the devastating loss of my father, I found myself overwhelmed—grappling with grief, trying to maintain my responsibilities at work, and navigating family distress. I felt paralyzed. Maggi Scharf was a lifeline during one of the darkest times of my life. With compassion, insight, and unwavering support, she helped me move forward when I felt stuck. Maggi helped me find clarity, strength, and hope at a time when I had lost all three. Her guidance and expertise were instrumental in helping me make progress in both my personal and professional life. I am deeply grateful for the impact she has had on my journey.

Maggi’s wisdom, compassionate presence, gentle guidance, and deep understanding of grief create a space where it feels safe to be both courageous and vulnerable. I had the privilege of working with her both privately and in a group setting, as I navigated grief in many forms. Whether I was facing the loss of a loved one, a shift in identity, or lingering sorrow I couldn't quite name, Maggi met each part of my experience with care and respect. She understands that grieving people need time to slowly reveal their deepest, most difficult feelings, and she honors that process with patience and grace. Her approach is nonjudgmental, loving, creative, and truly inspirational. Maggi Scharf is not only an outstanding grief educator and coach but also a master-level group facilitator who brings people together in healing and hope.

Maggi’s expertise and professional certifications make her an invaluable leader of our grief support groups. With thoughtfulness and intuition, she seamlessly extends the care of our Aftercare services, creating a safe and compassionate environment. Her guidance brings comfort and hope, guiding clients towards hope and healing.
