When family trauma makes laughter feel inappropriate or unsafe

After my dad's stroke, our family doesn't know how to be light together anymore — everything feels like it might be inappropriate or insensitive. We're all so careful around each other that we've lost the laughter that actually helped us cope with hard things.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family has mistaken the absence of joy for the presence of respect, forgetting that laughter can be medicine rather than mockery.
