Donna Wilson is a professor in the Faculty of Nursing at University of Alberta in Edmonton. Her program of research focuses on health services and health policy, primarily in relation to aging and end-of-life care. She has conducted or been involved in studies on grief and bereavement, ageism, social isolation and many more topics.
This summer, she and her team released the results of a study that found humor to be both a grief trigger and a coping mechanism for grief. 
Have a listen as Donna and I dig into more subjects than grief and humor, including what a good death is and why it's OK if all you do for a grieving friend is show up with a casserole.
