CW: Death of a spouse, holidays without a spouse, angry tweeting, St. Patrick's Day, and peeps.
I wasn’t able to take the time to plan out the transition of this podcast from the Dirty Bits to Death is Hilarious like I wanted to. It’s been largely experimental and my listeners have been witness to what seems like a behind the scenes creative process, as I navigate my grief using various art forms like writing, comedy, podcasting, and performing. It’s taken a few months and a few different formats to find my footing. I’ve had many different creative partners on this journey with me, but one of the most consistent partners has been my dear friend, Sam. The loss of George has been really hard for Sam too and we began coping by channeling our grief into comedy… specifically by writing each other funny letters about how we’re dealing with not only death and loss but other traumas in our lives. Those letters are something I’d like to share with you on this show, Death is Hilarious, the podcast that documents one voice actor’s journey coping with the death of her husband using humor and dark comedy.

As covid-19 ushers you into a world I’m all too familiar with, I hope you too can find some healing and relief in our version of radical acceptance - with stories, friendship, and lots of jokes.

In This Episode: My creative partner, Sam and I write each other letters in which we make jokes about grief, death, loss, and trauma. Neither Sam or I have seen the other’s letter before the episode.
