| How to Survive the Holidays While Grieving | 15 Dec 2025 | 00:20:12 | |
In this episode, Gabri talks about why the holidays hit different after a loss—and why it’s not just the first holiday, but every one that follows. She shares what it felt like to face the first Christmas without her mom, how grief can turn familiar traditions into something heavy, and why the season can feel both nostalgic and painful at the same time. Gabri walks through how holiday grief can shift year to year—from “shock and survival” in year one, to the ache of realizing “it’s already Christmas again” without them, to slowly learning how to rebuild something honest and sustainable. She also talks about the complicated guilt of enjoying yourself again and the difference between moving forward vs. moving on. This episode is also a reminder that “progress doesn’t apply to grief”—you can have one holiday that feels lighter, and the next year it can wreck you again, and that doesn’t mean you’re going backward. Gabri offers permission to let the season evolve: it’s okay to skip traditions, change them, and bring them back later. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| The Weird Duality of Grief No One Talks About | 08 Dec 2025 | 00:22:54 | |
What do you do when your grief doesn’t look the way you thought it would? In this episode, Gabri unpacks a rarely discussed emotional paradox: the way grief can make you feel completely numb and, at the same time, too empathetic to function. She shares how losing her mom rewired her ability to process emotion — from not crying at the funeral, to breaking down over things that had nothing to do with her loss. We talk about: - What emotional shutdown looks like after deep loss - How grief can make you hyper-aware of everyone else’s pain - The guilt of not grieving "correctly" - Why your emotional responses might surprise you - And how to start giving yourself grace for the ways grief shows up in your body and brain This isn’t about finding the silver lining — it’s about naming the weird middle ground of feeling everything and nothing at the same time. If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t grieving the “right” way, this one’s for you. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/my-mom-died/id1846948974 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7JltaAIZnmUdEfeYb0O8M2?si=d514d6b671b74184 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| How Loss Rewires the Way You See the World | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:24:12 | |
Before my mom died, I used to care about all the wrong things. How productive I was. How fast I was moving. How far I was getting. After she passed, none of that felt important anymore. This episode is about the invisible shift that happens when you lose someone: how grief doesn’t just change how you feel, but how you see. Your time. Your relationships. Your priorities. Your sense of identity. Things you used to chase don’t matter. And things you used to miss; a quiet moment, a smile, a memory suddenly become everything. In this conversation, we’re not talking about silver linings. We’re talking about what it means to stop seeing life as something to conquer… And start seeing it as something to hold. Whether you’ve lost someone recently or years ago, this shift will feel familiar, and if you’re in it right now, I hope this helps you feel less alone. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| Why Grieving Made Me Feel Guilty | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:25:07 | |
In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri talks about an emotion that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in grief conversations: guilt. Guilt for how it happened. Guilt for not doing more. Guilt for feeling angry. Guilt for laughing again. She opens up about the complex ways guilt showed up after her mom passed — how it crept in quietly, how it clashed with her healing, and how it made her second-guess her entire grieving process. This isn’t the kind of grief people post about. But it’s real. And Gabri is naming it. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| How Losing My Mom Changed Every Relationship In My Life | 17 Nov 2025 | 00:23:45 | |
In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri opens up about how grief doesn’t just affect your emotions; it changes your relationships too. After the loss of her mom, Gabri noticed how friends stopped checking in, family didn’t know how to respond, and how grief slowly created distance between her and the people around her. She shares honestly about the loneliness, the tension, and the unexpected isolation that followed, not because people were cruel, but because they simply didn’t know how to show up. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has felt alone in their grief or watched relationships quietly shift after a major loss. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| The Firsts No One Tells You About After Losing A Loved One | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:19:41 | |
Everyone talks about grief, but no one prepares you for the firsts. The first holiday. The first birthday. The first day, she should’ve been there, but wasn’t. In this episode, Gabri opens up about facing all those moments, not just without her mom, but 2,000 miles away from the people who knew her best. It’s about grieving in a city where no one shows up with food, where no one shares memories, and where your world stops… but everyone else keeps going. If you've ever had to navigate grief alone, or if you're in your year of firsts, this one's for you. 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

| Grieving Through the Holidays (w/ Grief Therapist Gina Moffa) | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:41:55 | |
The holidays are “supposed” to feel warm, safe, and familiar — but when you’re grieving, they can feel ten times heavier. In this episode, Gabri sits down with grief and trauma therapist Gina Moffa to break down what’s actually happening inside of you during the holiday season: why memories hit harder, why joy feels complicated, and why even simple moments can feel overwhelming. Together, they talk through practical ways to care for yourself during the holidays, including how to check in with what you need in real time, how to handle traditions (keep them, change them, or skip them), and how to find “micro comforts” when grief shows up unexpectedly. They also get into the reality that grief is messy and non-linear — and why “moving on” doesn’t mean letting go. Gina Moffa is a NYC-based grief therapist and the author of Moving On Doesn’t Mean Letting Go. 💜 Connect with Gina Instagram: https://www.tiktok.com/@ginamoffalcsw Tik Tok: https://www.instagram.com/ginamoffalcsw/ Website: https://ginamoffa.com/ 💜 Stay Connected Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod 🎥 Watch on YouTube Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MyMomDiedPodcast 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter and be the first to know about new episodes and live events: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?
