Narrated by:
On the 10th anniversary of a profound loss, comedian Michael Cruz Kayne felt compelled to describe his feelings of grief in 140 characters or less. Much to his surprise, more than 200,000 people responded in solidarity from all corners of the globe. Overwhelmed by the response, the Late Show with Stephen Colbert writer and host of A Good Cry created Sorry for Your Loss, a sidesplitting, heartrending look at life—and death. This powerfully personal production, recorded live from the Minetta Lane Theatre, cuts through the platitudes, directly reaching out to anyone who has ever experienced loss—or will. So...everyone.
Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

A Must Listen for the Grieving
- By Chris on 09-25-23
Listening (and laughing) through grief
Listening (and laughing) through grief
One of the most surprising things I discovered about grief after my dad died last summer is how much I wanted to talk about it. And it wasn't just the sadness I needed to get off my chest—it was also the absurdity of it, the total feeling of disbelief. And yes, there were some funny things that happened during the month that he was dying, too, and those moments were as real as the tears were true. As Michael Cruz Kayne says several times in this production, "Things can be one way, and they can also be another way, too." His hilarious and heartbreaking one-man "comedy show about grief," filmed in front of a live audience at the Minetta Lane Theatre, is all about those contradictions that come with love and loss. He spins you through myriad topics, from Audrey Hepburn to Disney ride disappointments, from nonsensical math to funeral home receipts, demonstrating how loss is inescapably woven through everything, and it has to be if we want to experience the good stuff. And this production is the good stuff. In fact, it's one of the best things I've seen—and listened to—all year.

I found this Audible Original, narrated by the comedian Michael Cruz Kayne, to be helpful to me. For those touched (or pounded) by grief after the death of a loved one, this audio allows you to feel your profound loss.
Mr. Kayne lost one of his sons when he was 35 days old. The son was a twin. Kayne, miraculously in 1 ½ hours, gives a comedy routine that leaves you simultaneously laughing and ugly crying. How can a parent survive such a tremendous loss? He shows the contradictions of love and loss. By the way, he blames science for screwing up the grief process. Kayne states that you think things can be one way but they can also be another way. How to keep your loved one alive? How to get through grief? How to laugh when all you want to do is sob.
Feel a bit stuck in grief? Somewhat unhinged? Well, this audio short helped me. It’s brilliant. Saying that, I am a person who appreciates humor and wit when processing any loss. Not sure if everyone is like me. Oh, and trigger warning, beyond the obvious (death), there are a few F-bombs! Didn’t distract for me because it wasn’t like a Chris Rock routine, just a sprinkling here and there. It’s comedy! I expect some 🌶️ language.
you will laugh and ugly cry at the same time
