My cousin's chemo joke at the family reunion fell flat, and I defended it
Last summer in Columbus, my cousin Rick, who finished treatment in March, cracked a dark joke about his port scar looking like a zipper. Half the table went silent, and my aunt whispered that it was 'too soon.' I told her Rick earned the right to laugh at it, and honestly, the awkward silence bugged me more than the joke. Has anyone else had to step in when a person directly affected by the issue gets shut down by well-meaning family?
