South Dakota author Delaine Shay discusses grief & laughter

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Delaine Shay's family endured a tragedy but still managed to laugh. She remembers her dad's booming laughter while watching comedy shows on the television her brother's memorial fund helped buy.

The author from Trent, South Dakota, talks with Lori Walsh about grief, addiction and finding the right time to tell your story.

Shay's memoir "And Then, We Laughed" is available now.
