Good Grief: Why Am I Laughing At A Time Like This? 

Grieving is hard work.  It can’t be laughed away.  But finding  humor during the grieving process can give us a needed vacation from the trenches of grief and hope that life goes on. 

Pat Snyder, who lost her husband in May 2009, will show how the techniques she used for finding humor in an overbooked can also help find humor in times of loss.     

Humor Helps: Develop Your Sense of Humor and Survive Hard Times

Have the daily news and economy got you down? Let Pat Snyder show you how to develop a sense of humor that can get you through. She knows.

For nearly a decade she’s chronicled her own travails in her regular humor column, Balancing Act. Looking for the light, ironic side of life has honed her humor-finding skills and helped her survive everything from her mom’s declining health and husband’s long-term illness to the ups and downs of practicing law and raising kids. So the stock market takes a belly flop? “What else is new?” she says.

 The Dog Ate My Planner

In this motivational speech, consistent with her book by the same name this year, Pat shares how we can benefit from the missteps and downturns in our lives.

She’ll include excerpts from the book along with some practical leash laws to help make the chaos of 21st century life more inspiring than overwhelming.

The Healing Power of Humor

In a lively speech specially designed for caregivers, Pat talks about ways that laughter and humor can help the caregiver relieve his own stress and also connect with the patient.

This talk is suitable for those who care for the chronically ill of any age as well as elderly parents whose physical and/or mental health is failing.
