Today’s guest is someone whose story reaches into the deepest places of grief and still finds a way to breathe life back into the room. Her name is Marcia Earhart — founder of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, grief and trauma responder, HeartSync minister, mediator, author, speaker, and a woman whose faith has carried her through losses most of us can’t imagine.

Marcia has lived through the deaths of two sons — one to sudden tragedy, and one to murder — and somehow, through all of it, she learned how to keep breathing, keep moving, and keep living. Not by erasing the pain, but by walking with it. Her book, Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief, is a raw and honest look at what happens when life breaks you open… and what it takes to stand back up.

She works with people carrying trauma, loss, depression, anxiety, addiction, and the kind of sorrow that sits in the bones. Not as a distant expert, but as someone who has been there — someone who knows what it means to fight for your mind, your family, and your faith.

Today, we’re talking about grief, resilience, the brain, the heart, and what it really means to heal. This is not a conversation about ‘getting over it.’ This is a conversation about learning to breathe again, move again, and live again — even when the world has gone dark.

This is Grieve Work. And this is Marcia Earhart.
