Summary

Episode 1: Are You Grieving Wrong? Welcome to Dying Laughing the grief survival podcast that knows you’ve cried in a Marshalls fitting room and called it healing. In this premiere episode, Jessimae asks the big, awkward question: Are you grieving wrong? She breaks down the weird, brutal, and beautiful parts of loss from how grief shows up differently for everyone and why there's truly no “right” way to do it. She explores the clinical diagnosis of “prolonged grief” according to the DSM-5, reflects on how long Italians actually grieve (spoiler: forever), and introduces her own updated NEW GRIEF RULES for surviving loss without losing your damn mind. From seeing her mom’s ghost in Italy to rejecting the idea that grief is one-size-fits-all, this episode is a real, funny, and sometimes haunting reminder that however you're grieving…you're doing it right. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a job, or just your damn mind this is your new grief safe space...with jokes. Because even grief deserves a punchline. 💀 Dying Laughing is here to give grief a glow-up. Email us! [email protected] FOLLOW JESSIMAE FOR MORE FUN IN YOUR LIFE!
