Wow thanks for the context. I laughed because I thought it was from a movie it was so ridiculous

It was made worst though, her husband later said it wasn't funny and that she was still dizzy several days later.

The fact her husband says it wasn’t funny actually makes it even more funny. I think that’s what makes it so funny to begin with is because it’s the laughing at a funeral thing

Uh if I'm laughing at a funeral it's because of emotional dysregulation, not because anything is funny

.... SEE MOM CHILD ME WASN'T THE CRAZY ONE!!

I remember my mom being so fricking pissed as she tried to tell my adhd autism self to be serious but something in my brain was just so funny I couldn't...

We ended up driving around a little longer when my mom already went to the funeral my dad had told her she'd scold me but just did nothing about it,

I'm sure great grandma understood though!

Yeah it's not that the funeral is funny, it's just that my brain thinks big emotion = big emotional response, without any consideration for what flavour that response is going to be.

It can be especially awkward when the Wheel of Emotional Misfortune lands on "CLIMB A TREE RIGHT NOW"

Yes because somehow my brain will decide right now is the time to absolutely belt out laughing for whatever reason

But that's what they mean. You laugh at a funeral and it's not something you want to be doing, or because it's funny. It just happens.

I guess I misunderstood because they said it "makes it even more funny" and "that's what makes it so funny to begin with"

So what they really mean isn't that it's actually funny, but just that it induces laughter?

Seeing it is funny - and then we recognize that it's not, because it's a real person and probably terrible and frightening.

Then someone saying "Hey, it's not funny!" is ridiculous because we've already gone through the immediate visual and then slightly delayed realization of what's really happening. So we think, "Yeah, of course it's NOT funny. But doesn't it LOOK funny?"

IDK. I'm likely explaining it badly. But I laughed out loud when my precious mama took her last breath. I thought she was gone. I was beginning to process that her passing has complete. And then she took ANOTHER breath. I laughed. It was involuntary. And I thought, "I guess whenever you're ready, Mom". To your point, my emotions were allll over the place in that moment. 😊

It's not funny at all, it's absolutely horrific
