  • In this episode of Hope Comes to Visit, I sit down with comedian Kelly MacFarland for a conversation that is both deeply honest and unexpectedly light. Kelly shares her journey through grief, growth, and rediscovery—and how humor became both a bridge and a release along the way.

  • This week on Hope Comes to Visit, I sit down with Kelly Karavousanos — a licensed professional counselor, certified thanatologist, licensed funeral director, and someone who has personally helped guide me through some of the darkest grief of my life. Kelly understands grief not just as a clinician, but as a human being who has lived through profound loss herself. In this conversation, we talk about what grief really asks of us, why our culture is so uncomfortable with death and dying, and how healing happens not by avoiding pain — but by moving through it.
