Today my guest is Jenn Koiter- a storyteller with a background in education, nonprofit work, and technology who has taught at colleges and universities. Jenn is also the author of So Much of Everything, a book of poetry she created in order to process her complicated feelings of loss and grief that she experienced after her ex-boyfriend died from suicide. In this episode: - Jenn uses her dead ex-boyfriend’s yoga mat- How grieving compares to dog obedience training - Needing to be ok with people not understanding the humor around death - Why people don’t understand using humor to cope with death and grief - The complicated feelings around someone dying of suicide after breaking up with them- How using humor to cope is often initially a part of someone’s personality and it’s magnified during trauma - Having a religious funeral for someone who was an atheist - How humor brings us together as mourners and connects us as a part of our grief For more information about Death Is Hilarious, visit deathishilarious.com To get in touch, email deathishilarious@gmail.com.
