Can we ever be fully prepared for bad news when it comes? Many of the passages found inside are ficticious circumstance while others remain truths we must learn to cope with to get through this life.

Author Josh Rowan shows us that sometimes if we can learn to make light of the situation it eases the pain, like laughing the fear away.
