▶▶ Welcome back to Dying Of Laughter! In this episode, I'm re-sharing the first episode I ever launched... This is the story of my parents getting sick: my dad's journey with ALS and my mom's journey with breast cancer. Happy holidays! Okay, that ended a little too jolly. If you're feeling holly this year, go off; if you're feeling unhinged or unwell this year, go off. You can be holly, jolly, or nolly (not jolly) and I'd support any and of all of it. YODO, you only die once! See (hear?) you in 2024. Cheers DOLlies. I really resonate with the quote: "Grief is love with nowhere to go."
