@ RekamI’m sorry for your loss as well. Dark or gallows humor doesn’t always work when the subject hits too close to home or the timing is off (too soon) for the reader.Of course it wouldn’t seem funny at a time like this.I feel that this kind of humor does serve to vaccinate us somewhat from the terrible truth of death and loss and mortality. We laugh, so we don’t cry. And sometimes we do both.
