Noticed the connection between grief and laughter? It’s quite beautiful actually.
Humor can be used as a defense mechanism as well as a tool for coping with grief long after a loss. That’s not to say that the "usual" form of grief won't still happen: crying, feeling anger or frustration, or spending time in reflection.
“Laughing was an act of resistance, a way to keep the darkness at a workable distance, even if only for a moment.” - Emily Rapp Black

Has anyone noticed laughter unexpectedly in their grief?
