Humor, Laughter, and Grief




For the most part, grief isn’t funny.

“Grief” and “humor” aren’t often used in the same sentence. There are moments in the beginning of grief when we’re laughing hysterically, but that’s generally in the middle of the night and it’s not a happy sound. Or we’re standing by ourselves in the woods holding a tree. Or we’re in the shower staring at the soap. These are more about our trying not to cry than anything funny.
