We are thrilled to share a special episode of the “Hope Comes to Visit” podcast featuring our very own Kelly Karavousanos, Director of Community Outreach at HeartLight Center. Kelly joins host Danielle Elliott Smith for a deeply moving conversation that balances clinical expertise with profound humanity.

I spent my Christmas Eve at a funeral home… and I had fun. Not the loud, carefree kind of fun—but the quiet, grounding kind that comes from being deeply human together at Gabaldon Mortuary for their annual Lighting the Way luminaria decorating event.

Join our upcoming workshop, Caring for Someone Who Is Grieving, where we will examine the dynamics of compassionate communications, even when facing a life-altering loss. We will examine generational differences, past perceptions of loss, and situations where “just talking ” can sometimes be challenging.

The Summit County Coroner’s Office started a grief support group after deputy coroner Britt Lea heard about the HeartLight Center, an organization that offers virtual support groups, among other resources.

Executive Director, Jenn Flaum, recently joined Chandra Thomas Whitfield on Colorado Public Radio’s “Colorado Matters” to delve into the topic of grief and the crucial role of grief support.
