Jim – Humour and grief

Jim talks about how humour can help us cope with grief. "I'm Irish, and we have a saying that 'laughter is the best medicine.' I believe that humour can help us to see the lighter side of life, even in the midst of pain. It can help us to connect with others, and it can help us to find hope. I encourage you to find ways to laugh, even when you're grieving. It might not always be easy, but it can make a big difference."
