dedeedeee tells us more.
Hi everyone, person who wrote the FML here. There seems to be some sort of confusion going on around here, I didn't laugh because my stepmother said that my grandmother was in a better place, It was just the wrong thing to burst out laughing to...not that the funeral helped at all. And thanks to those who made nice comments and stupid ones. It made my day a little bit better 8D

rofl I would have done the same thing
1, what did 37 say and 2, I love how you just put I laughed my ass off at the end. that made me laugh :) x
121 was trolling dude...
Wow that sucks. Sorry bout your grandmother. FYL for having to struggle to hold in laughter and burst out
Because GOD FORBID people get offended! My grandfather died about 2 years ago. I was devastated, I cried throughout the days between his death and his funeral, and I cried throughout the memorial service the day before the funeral. But at the funeral, once the priest started throwing the holy water onto the casket, I couldn't help but laugh. I don't think that makes me an insensitive person. Sometimes when you've been crying for days, you need a laugh, even if it is at an inappropriate time.
same happened to me. my grangran was in a nursing home out in Minnesota. I was in cali. we flew out there, drove from Wisconsin to the nursing home, arrived in the lobby and met with our cousins. gran was in critical condition but we hadn't said a word since we arrived so as we walked toward her room I just cracked up. when we got to ger room she died. my mom and aunt got pissed at me for it but those damn awwwkward silences always get me.
When I get nervous, I sometimes get uncontrollable laughter for seemingly mundane stuff too.
Actually, I have... Well, I suppose I couldn't tell if my face was red, but I distinctly remember choking. I'm not going to say YDI because, as a person fairly easily amused, I know sometimes... sometimes you just HAVE to laugh. Besides, laughter is a very good thing when grieving; it helps you get over the grief. Being able to enjoy yourself in light of grim news is a sign of moving on. People need to lighten up, and just ******* laugh. Shit's funny, get used to it. It's like repressing your sex drive.
Wasn't this posted before? Did this person submit it twice without even checking if it made the site? seriously guys look at some of the later pages
no actually this was different , a man had lhao after his bro had shouted this is a dead zone
I'd like to think that she was watching from beyond and laughing right along with you. : )
laughter is not 100% controllable as long as the op wasent laughing at the deceased i doubt anyone cared
Believe me, people cared. At my grandmother's funeral, someone started coughing and the rabbi just stared them down until they stopped. Laughing was not an option.
Laughter is jut caused by the tension and such. I remember having a very good laugh with my brother and cousin on my grandmother's funeral. It's not like we wanted to or were having a blast, it's just a way to release tension, although I can understand people think it's odd (which it is :p).
