54. Death Is Hilarious Podcast Host (And Widow) Tawny Platis On Finding Your Way Through Grief


Listen Later

Tawny Platis's husband George had a very rare heart condition since birth and lost his life in November 2019. 

Initially, Tawny found herself spiraling into depression, wanting to end her own life, but 2 things saved her:

1. making other people laugh!

2. Their precious puppy Babs!

In this episode we chat about:

~how she started a podcast called Death Is Hilarious

~how she went through a "wid-hoe" phase

~using humor as a way of bringing control back to us

~how "widow brain" affects focus and memory

~how strangers can show up in our lives from out of nowhere, just when we need them the most

~how much her life has changed and improved just in the last year!
