Every Widow Thing

Episode 51: Finding Humor in Grief: Laughter as a Healing Tool


Listen Later

Holly is in a funk and that's totally normal. Grief is a part of our life now, even 8 years in. It definitely is not as heavy and ever present as the early years, but to think that there will come a day when grief has left you, is not realistic.

In this episode of Every Widow Thing, Whitney and Holly dive into the complex emotions surrounding grief, loneliness, and the unexpected role of humor in healing. As they share personal stories and experiences, they explore how laughter can coexist with sorrow, even in the most challenging moments.

Join them as they discuss:

  • The nuances of grief and the feeling of loneliness, even years after loss.

  • The importance of acknowledging all emotions related to grief.

  • Hilarious anecdotes, including a story about a widow twerking at a funeral and the use of cardboard cutouts to honor loved ones.

  • The healing power of laughter and how it can lighten the heaviest of situations.

Whether you're navigating your own grief journey or simply looking for a lighthearted take on a heavy topic, this episode offers a blend of humor and heartfelt conversation. Remember, where you are right now is not where you will stay—laughter and healing are possible!
