Grief is strange. It’s heavy, unpredictable, and sometimes—against all odds—it’s funny. In this episode, Donnie sits down with Yadira, the younger sister of his late friend Andres, to share how loss shaped their lives and how laughter became a lifeline.
From the awkward moments of giggling through tears to the comfort of inside jokes, they explore how humor doesn’t erase grief but helps carry it.
Together, they reflect on the waves of anger, guilt, and sorrow, but also the unexpected joy that comes from cherishing small moments and keeping memories alive. It’s a reminder that grief isn’t something to “get over” but something to live with—sometimes through tears, sometimes through laughter.
As Andres’ birthday approaches on August 24th, this conversation becomes more than reflection—it’s a celebration of him. A tribute to the love he left behind, the laughter he inspired, and the reminder that even in loss, joy can still be found.
