Answer 4

Actually, laughter is a stress reliever in these situations.  You see people laughing all the time at bad things that happen to other people.  It's just a natural reaction.  Tell her you're sorry you laughed but the laughter wasn't deliberate and you weren't laughing at her.  You weren't really, you would have laughed at anybody in that situation.  Explain the stress relief part of laughing.  I had to explain this same thing to my wife when she saw some police officers laughing over a bad situation.  I was a cop myself and this was explained to us in training.
