Hi Lou!I hope you don't mind me giving you my opinion.
I can see how a post with the words "facing death"
and a response, saying there is "humour" in that post, could come across to you Lou, as someone joking about death. I know that's not the case though. GG was complimenting the poster on her ability to to laugh even under such dire circumstances. It was an acknowledgement of the posters strenghth, it was most definitely not about finding her situation funny.
