The Funny Thing about Grief

Grief isn't funny—is it? What about when life is so heartbreakingly tragic, so gut-wrenchingly unbearable, that to ease the overwhelming ache you feel, if only for a minute or two, you just have to laugh? In The Funny Thing about Grief, author Katie Stifter shares her struggle to survive the sudden, tragic death of her beloved husband and best friend, Andy. It's a thing she can't fathom surviving, yet she manages to, a little bit every day, as she raises her two young kids and newborn baby, helping them survive their grief too. In recounting her journey, Katie creates a guide for others who are lost amid their own grief and heartache, ultimately imparting that humor can only help and there can be happiness after loss.   Katie Stifter is a widow, mother, high-school counselor, and sometimes-funny wannabe blogger raising three children. Laughter and humor have always been her jam, and she uses it in many ways to heal and live after loss. You can follow her on Facebook (@katiethewickedwid
