Nobody tells you that losing someone comes with a full-blown identity crisis. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui breaks down what grief actually does to your sense of self: why you stop recognizing yourself in the mirror, what it means to lose the person who witnessed every version of you, and why the parts of you that only your person knew can feel gone too. She also talks about the grief identity rebuild, why your old self is not coming back, and why that is not a failure. If you are grieving and wondering why you feel like a completely different person, this episode will finally give you the language for it.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever shows up for you on Mother's Day is allowed.

In this diary entry, Gabri calls her dad to ask how her mom actually felt about Mother's Day. What he describes is someone who didn't care about the gifts or the plans. She just loved being together. She loved the role. She stood up without hesitation when the priest asked the moms to rise at church.

Gabri also talks about the contrast: how easy the day used to feel, and how heavy it is now. Not because Mother's Day changed. Just because she isn't here to experience it the way she used to.

11 days out. A new diary entry every day until Mother's Day.

Last year, Gabri opened Instagram, picked a photo of her mom, started typing, and then just sat there staring at her phone. Worried people were thinking, "Okay, we get it, your mom is dead."

In this diary entry, she talks about the specific guilt of posting about grief on a day that's supposed to be happy, why staying quiet doesn't feel right either, and why if your Mother's Day post is heavier than everyone else's, that just means you're telling the truth.

Post the picture. Then put the phone down.

You wake up and for a few seconds it's just a normal Sunday. And then you remember it isn't.

In this diary entry, Gabri talks about the specific cruelty of Mother's Day mornings. You open Instagram before you're even fully awake and it hits you all at once. She also shares what Mother's Day used to look like, the homemade cards her mom kept forever, the year she flew home to surprise her, and why the morning is always the hardest part of the day.

You're happy for them. You genuinely are. And at the same time, you wish your reality looked like theirs. It's a weird feeling to sit with, and most people never say it out loud because it feels wrong.

In this diary entry, Gabri talks about the strange mix of grief and jealousy that shows up on Mother's Day. Not the kind of jealousy that wants to take something away from someone. The kind that just misses what you used to have.
