Whitney, in which Cummings portrayed a semi-fictionalized version of herself, was not well-received by critics, and Cummings acknowledges it was a learning curve for her.

Whitney Cummings On The Death Of Her Father And What It’s Like To Hang Out With Wolves.

After her loss, the US comedian wanted to be around beings that understood mortality and wouldn’t ask her how she was doing. Last year my dad died. I’m not sure how I scored in terms of my weird grieving process, but let’s just say it included a lot of yelling at inanimate objects and Googling videos of baby elephants.

I couldn’t remember to eat or sleep, but for some reason, I could remember that my friend Paul Scheer once told me about a wolf sanctuary he’d been to. I had instantly said I’d go, but in the kind of self-deluded way, you agree to do a cleanse or sign up for an obstacle race.

My dad’s death made me realize that in terms of work, a lot of the heavy load I was taking on came with a subconscious intent to get his attention, so when he died, my need to be productive also died a little, too. Suddenly, nothing mattered, and my schedule opened up.

The sanctuary idea kept resurfacing. I wanted to be around beings that understood death, that wouldn’t ask me how I was doing, and wolves seemed like the perfect company. I had every reason not to go: I could barely get out of bed, and six months earlier, I had had my ear bitten off by a dog to the point where it hung off my head like a door-knocker earring. Though it had been artfully reattached, the idea of toothy-faced things near my headset off alarm bells.

But the death of a loved one has an amazing ability to transmogrify fear into complete numbness, sometimes even courage. My dad used to refer to himself jokingly as a lone wolf, and because of my borderline feral behavior, while eating, my friends have a running joke that I was “raised by wolves” thematically, it all seemed to make perfect sense.
