FREEDOM FROM GRIEF and TRAUMA IS WAITING FOR YOU
Let us be your haven as you walk through this season
Our Mission
The mission of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary is to address the mental health crisis by providing compassionate support and transformative healing modalities to individuals navigating trauma and grief. Recognizing that countless people carry the weight of unresolved pain—whether from the loss of a loved one, health issues, physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and shattered dreams—we are dedicated to fostering resilience and restoration. With a focus on both children and adults, we aim to break the cycle of suffering by offering accessible, evidence-based resources for healing. Through the generosity of our donors, we empower those in need to breathe again, move again, and live again with strength and purpose. Together, we strive to create a world where no one has to face their pain alone.
70% of adults experience a traumatic event in their lives- the loss of a child, a spouse, health, home, or even the loss of a dream.
70%+ of bereaved individuals experience mental health symptoms like anxiety or depression.
We offer Christ-centered healing through proven practices and personal experiences. So those we serve find relief for today, and hope for tomorrow.
Throughout the scriptures, God resets people’s lives. He can reset yours, too. Replace pain, guilt, and despair with grace, healing, and hope. If you feel stuck in your grief, we have a process and a plan to get you unstuck. We can show you how to move from surviving to thriving.
Breathe again. Move again. Live again.
Grief can be compounding; healing can be elusive. No matter how big of a loss you’ve experienced, we’ll walk with you every step of the way and show you how big our God is. Help, resources, and support are a phone call away.

Who we are
The Sterling Rose Sanctuary was born out of the Earhart family's loss of Sterling Earhart, the oldest of Marcia and Scott's five children, in a car accident. Five years later, the Earharts lost a second son, Marc, when he was brutally murdered. This unthinkable loss compelled the Earharts to continue to use their experience with grief to help others. They’ve learned that there is a resurrection of life out of death. Through the loss of their sons, seeds of life have been planted. By establishing The Sterling Rose Sanctuary, Scott and Marcia bring hope and healing to those struggling with trauma and loss.
Why we do what we do
The mental health crisis is real. Mental health issues are at an all time high. Most people you encounter everyday are dealing with some sort of trauma and loss, many of them carrying that trauma and loss for years or decades. According to the World Health Organization, 1 Billion children suffer from trauma, and those children grow up to be adults. Trauma can be caused by the loss of a loved one, physical, sexual, emotional, or spiritual abuse or loss of a dream. Many in our community are coping with current trauma, while also carrying untreated trauma from the past. The healing process takes time, but we love being the boots on the ground and coming alongside those who are hurting. Relief is available. We would be honored to walk you through the journey.
How we do what we do

We offer 2 options to find comfort for today and hope for tomorrow . . . 1-on-1 Coaching and our Heart Healing Sessions. Academically prepared, professionally qualified, and personally experienced, Marcia will help you breathe again, move again and live again.
How you can help us help others
As a nonprofit organization we rely on generous donors and companies. Here are 2 things you can do to help us come alongside hurting individuals and families:
Donate:
Everyone who experiences traumatic loss needs healing, regardless of their ability to pay. We never refuse treatment when someone can't afford it. Giving to our Scholarship Fund gives a traumatized person a path forward.
