“Not only does it feel good to laugh, but when you find yourself laughing, whether you realize it or not, you're reminding yourself that you're still in there. It's like, ’ Oh wait, I'm still me.’”
In the final episode of our Uplifting series on grief and loss, you’ll meet Rebecca Soffer, co-founder of Modern Loss, author of the bestselling “The Modern Loss Handbook: An Interactive Guide to Moving Through Grief and Building Your Resilience,” and co-author of the book "Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome."

In this conversation, Rebecca and I discuss:
- How her work at The Cobert Report primed her to use humor to navigate the long and messy arc of grief after losing both parents early in her adult life
- How shared grief can be a shortcut to intimacy and deep connection
- How humor reminds us that we’re still here when we’re losing so much of what makes us feel like ourselves
- That there’s no right or wrong way to grieve
- How to take care of ourselves and our boundaries during the many stages of loss
