Mitch,

laughter is the best medicine when tears don't work

I feel that so many of us are like a tightly wound thread.  Our grief, our finances, our memories, our past and our future, and so many other things are each single strands of silk that are twisted together to make a strong thread.   We can withstand a lot of pulling and twisting but once we are past the maximum twist we will break if we can find no relief.  That is why I oftentimes find myself laughing at inappropriate times.  I get so wound up with all there is to do that I can't seem to help from bursting out laughing.  I feel embarrassed when it happens and I struggle to regain my composure.  I'm sure it is very confusing for some people, those that know I'm recently widowed, but I've never felt comfortable crying.  What I have found is that the release of my tensions and grief are equal whether they are a result of laughter or tears.

laugh till you cry

we all need to feel that release to feel relief
