Can We Laugh About This? Dark Humor & Grief

Grief doesn’t always look like tears and silence — sometimes it looks like dark humor.

In this episode, Skylar explores why joking after loss feels healing for some people and deeply uncomfortable for others. Through personal reflection and psychology, she breaks down dark humor as a coping mechanism, why some grievers lean into laughter, and why others avoid it altogether.

Whether you cope with loss through laughter, tears, or both, this episode reminds you there’s no right way to grieve.
