Death is a path we all must take. However, that path doesn't necessarily have to be filled with gloom and doom. Sometimes when dealing with a painfully difficult situation, there are circumstances or events which create a unique type of “comic relief” that can really help to break up the intensity and monotony. In the new book, Exit Laughing- How Humor Takes the Sting Out of Death best-selling author, Victora Zackheim shares true stories from Malachy McCourt, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Barbara Graham, Ellen Sussman and so many others. Exit Laughing makes death more approachable as it reveals the funny side of “passing on.” As painful as it is to lose a loved one, Exit Laughing shows us that in times of grief, humor can help us with coping and even healing.
