462. Kelley Lynn joins us again proving there is "Laugh after Death." How to find the humor and joy through grief is not only possible, it brings light and life back into a griever's heart and soul.

from You Just Have To Laugh

On an ordinary Wednesday on July 13, 2011, Kelley woke up to a new life as a widow at age 39, after learning that her 46-year-old husband Don had gone into sudden cardiac arrest and died about one hour after arriving at work. Since that day, it has been Kelley's mission to help others survive and thrive through their losses, and to change the conversations we have as a society surrounding grief and loss. Kelley's TEDx talk: "There is no such thing as Moving On" has reached viral status at 3 million views and counting. Kelley speaks globally about death and life with a twist of comedy and is a featured speaker at the Soaring Spirits "Camp Widow" events, where she finds the funny inside of the pain with her comedic presentation.   Kelley runs a weekly virtual peer support group for widowed people on the Circles app, co-leads several widowed support groups locally, is the Sunday writer on the SSI blog "Widows Voice.", and has most recently started her own practice as a certified grief counselor, working both in person and virtually. You can check out all things Kelley at her website: www.akelleylynnlife.com    Kelley Lynn is a certified grief counselor, life coach, comedian, viral TED talk speaker, and author of the book: "My Husband Is Not a Rainbow: The Brutally Awful, Hilarious Truth About Life, Love, Grief, and Loss." As a performer, she has directed and written several shows for non-profits, and has shared the stage with such legends as Judy Gold, Elayne Boosler, Amy Shumer, Opie and Anthony, and Jim Gaffigan.   www.akelleylynnlife.com
