Is your tween navigating the heavy weight of losing a loved one?

Watching your 10 to 14-year-old process grief can leave you feeling helpless. The middle school years are already full of massive transitions, and carrying a loss on top of that can feel incredibly isolating for them. They often feel like nobody their age truly understands.

You don't have to navigate this alone, and neither do they.

Our upcoming Healing Connection Middler’s Grief Group provides a safe, welcoming, and localized space right here in St. Mary's County for tweens to share their experiences, express their feelings through creative activities, and build lasting resilience.

Led by licensed professional Sherrye Urtz, LCPC, this group focuses on peer-to-peer connection;
because healing happens together.

📋 Group Details:

🗓️ Dates: Tuesdays, June 16 – July 28
⏰ Time: 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm
🧒 Ages: 10–14 (Middlers)

📍 Location: Hope and Healing Therapy and Wellness Center
23140 Moakley St Suite 6, Leonardtown, MD

Investment: $265 (includes a dedicated grief journal)

Spaces are limited to ensure a close-knit, supportive environment for every child. Give your tween the space to connect with peers who truly get it:

"It’s Monday morning, you are getting yourself and your two elementary-aged children ready for the day...

You are showered, dressed, kids are dressed, lunches are packed, coffee is in hand and you are walking out of the door to conquer the day...

You get to your car and realize that you have a flat tire. You have an important presentation for work today that you cannot miss, the kids still need to get to school, and now your coffee has spilled down the front of your new outfit you got for the presentation...

Your normal Monday morning stress has just escalated to a much more elevated level. Cortisol levels have started to rise and you are starting to experience some physical symptoms all in a matter of minutes..."

Sniffing out a trigger 👃 can sound a little nosey, but so much healing happens through the details ✨

In some cases, it’s easier to claim sensitivity or overreactivity than it is to come to terms with the exact moment your nervous system felt unsafe, and why that happens.

We’re not here to pry, we’re here to create space for you to put the parts of the story you told yourself didn’t matter.
