I agree. When I've gone through terrible times, black comedy was such a relief. I would've felt worse if everyone was scared to make jokes for fear of offending me. Laughing at something takes some of the power away from it. "Why didn't you wish to get better?" comes across to me as a wink: of course you're wishing to get better and it sucks it's not that easy.
