Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of Dying Laughing. I am your comedy death dula,

Jesse May. And today we're talking about anger. Anger is an emotion I feel that gets really bad

reputation. It's loud, it's uncomfortable, it's messy. And culturally, we're told to either suppress it,

equalize it, spiritualize it, or move through it as fast as possible,

preferably quietly without making anyone else uncomfortable. But anger is one of the most

honest emotions we have. And in grief, I don't think anger is random. It's information. It's

usually the part of us that knows something wasn't fair, something wasn't processed, or wasn't

acknowledged at the time that it happened.

And the tricky part, we're almost never angry about what we think we're angry about.

And in this episode, we're talking about the anger stage of grief, how anger often points back to

historical pain, unmet needs, or moments where we didn't feel safe enough to feel anything at all. We'll look into

angry pop culture characters and why we love them so much because they're doing the thing we're

told not to do, expressing rage out loud. And I'll read listener submissions about what makes

you the most angry. And it ranged from deeply emotional to wildly unhinged and honestly,

both are valid. This episode isn't about learning how to get rid of anger. It's about learning how

to listen to it without letting it ruin your life. Because anger isn't the problem. Ignoring

it is. Let's get into it.

Hey everybody. Welcome to Dying Laughing. This is a podcast that brings humor to loss because I think laughter should be a stage of grief. That's just my input on everything. And today's episode is about anger and bargaining, which is a stage of grief. If you remember back a few episodes when we first

started this podcast, we did a breakdown of all the stages of grief. And then I sort of weaved in

different episodes of my stages of grief, like denial. But then it took a hard right and went into

day drinking and then sadness and shopping. I have my own version and today you

know I feel like I am so attuned and in tuned with my life and that happens once in a while I don't know
