My Mom Died

Gabri Segui

Grief is messy, awkward, and sometimes weirdly funny, and no one tells you what to do when it happens to you. After losing her mom in 2022, Gabri Segui created the show she couldn’t find: an honest, unfiltered space to talk about death, healing, and everything in between.

Whether you're crying in the cereal aisle, laughing at old voicemails, or just trying to survive another first without them, this show is for you. Through solo reflections and candid conversations with guests, My Mom Died helps you feel less alone in your grief; one story at a time.

Do You Ever Really Move On After Losing Someone?
For years, Gabri Segui believed you never really move on from grief, you just learn to move with it. Then a conversation with a friend at the gym challenged that thinking completely. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri explores the tension between moving on and moving with your grief, why "move on" is one of the most hated phrases grievers hear, and whether both perspectives can actually be true at the same time. She breaks down what moving on really means, why the phrase creates an invisible timeline that does not need to exist, and why having hard conversations with other grievers can shift your entire perspective. Whether you find comfort in moving on or you carry your person forward, this episode is for you. Share in the comments: does moving on or moving with resonate more with 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 Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

The Real Reason You See Signs From Your Dead Loved Ones
After losing someone, you start seeing them everywhere. A cardinal. A butterfly. A song on the radio at the exact moment you needed it. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui breaks down the actual brain chemistry behind why grievers see signs from their loved ones, from how your brain filters emotionally significant information to the grief psychology concept of continuing bonds. She shares her own sign from her mom, the stories her community shared in Grief Circle, and why the relationship with the person you lost does not end when they die, it just changes. Whether you see signs constantly or feel like you never get them, this episode will give you language for what you are experiencing.

It's normal to feel like grief made you stop caring. But what if it made you care more about everything instead?

Why Do I Think About Death All the Time After Losing Someone
After losing someone, grief doesn't just change how you mourn. It changes how you see everything. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui talks about what happens when death stops being an idea and becomes a reality you carry into every relationship, every milestone, every ordinary moment. She reads a poem she wrote about grieving futures that haven't happened yet, talks about the anxiety of loving someone when you know loss is possible, and shares the most important distinction she has learned: awareness deepens life, but obsession steals it. This episode ends with a reframe that will change how you think about grief entirely. 💜 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 Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

Why It Feels Like You Lost Both Parents When Only One Died
Nobody talks about what happens to your surviving parent after you lose one. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui finally opens up about watching her dad grieve her mom, prompted by a text he sent asking why she never talks about his grief. She shares the story of how her parents met at 14, were together 40 years, and what it has been like to watch her dad go from the goofy Arthur-watching guy he used to be to someone she barely recognizes. She also talks about the difference between supporting someone and trying to save them, why someone else's grief is not yours to carry, and how compassion for another person does not require you to abandon yourself.

Am I The A-Hole: Grief Edition
My Mom Died is trying something new. In this episode, Gabri Segui reads real Reddit "Am I The A-Hole" posts about grief and delivers her honest verdicts on each one. From a teenager who refuses to stop making dead mom jokes, to a woman who got pregnant by a stranger while grieving her mother, to a friend who named her baby after someone's deceased daughter without asking, these stories are wild, messy, and deeply human. Gabri breaks down what she would actually do, where the lines are, and why there is no right way to grieve, but there are some wrong ways to act. 💜 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 Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

You're Still Allowed to Fall in Love After a Loss.

In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui opens up about falling in love for the first time since losing her mom and what grief is making her notice about romance, dating, and what she actually needs from a partner now. She talks about losing the ability to be casual in relationships, why presence and consistency matter more than grand gestures, and why being afraid to love again after loss does not mean you are broken.

Grief changes you whether you want it to or not.

She also talks about the shift, the moment she decided to let grief soften her instead of harden her, and what it looks like to become someone your person would actually be proud of.

Some People Are Grieving a Mom Who Is Still Alive | Road to Mother's Day: 2 Days Left
Not everyone grieving on Mother's Day lost their mom to death. Some people are grieving the mom they needed and never had. A relationship that never recovered. A love they spent years trying to earn. In this diary entry, Gabri talks about the grief that has no funeral attached to it. The kind that feels invisible on Mother's Day because everyone around you assumes the day is supposed to feel warm. She talks about a conversation she had recently with someone grieving a mom who is still very much alive and how that might be one of the loneliest things a person can carry. This space is for that too. 💜 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 Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

The Women Who Stepped Up After My Mom Died | Road to Mother's Day: 3 Days Left
They are not her mom. But they showed up anyway. In this diary entry, Gabri takes a walk through West Hollywood and talks about the mother figures who have stepped in since losing her mom. Her aunt Amy, her mom's older sister and godmother, who checks in and knows exactly what Jennifer would have said. Her sister-in-law Kelly, a first-time mom this Mother's Day. Her best friend Lyrica, raising twins without her own mom, laying a foundation for Gabri to follow. She also talks about something she has never fully said out loud: she was always afraid of becoming a mom. And losing her mom made that fear even bigger. But watching these women has slowly started to change that. 💜 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 Grief Club (Patreon) Become a member on Patreon: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📖 Get the Poetry Book Store: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me 📬 Join the Community Sign up for the newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died 🕊️ Share Your Story Have a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?

What If I'm Actually Okay on Mother's Day | Road to Mother's Day: 4 Days Left
There is an unspoken rule that if you lost your mom, Mother's Day is supposed to hurt. And if it doesn't, something must be wrong with you. In this diary entry, Gabri talks about the guilt of having a good day when you were supposed to be falling apart. Grief doesn't show up on a schedule. It doesn't hit harder just because the calendar says it should. And not being sad on Mother's Day doesn't mean you didn't love her.
