Chelsea Handler on grief and how Trump's election threw her into an existential crisis

Grief may subside, but you never really know what will trigger it. For comedian and television personality Chelsea Handler, it was the 2016 U.S. presidential election that threw her into an existential crisis.

She joined q's Tom Power to talk about the seemingly unrelated connection between U.S. President Donald Trump and her late brother — a story which she details in her memoir Life Will Be the Death of Me: . . . and you too!

"I had never been clinically depressed in my life, but the closest thing I'd ever felt to being depressed was after the election," said Handler. "Realizing that my world could go so wrong, how entitled I was, how spoiled I had been. That I didn't even understand that this [outcome] was a possibility."

Handler's new memoir is out now. She'll also be adapting it into a podcast for the iHeartPodcast Network.
