When Your Bestie Was Your Mother: Navigating Grief and Loss
“SPEAK YO FACTS “
Grief has many faces, but there's something uniquely devastating about navigating life without your mother. In this raw and deeply personal episode, DJ Kornbread (aka the Empress) opens her heart about the void left when her mother—affectionately known as "Big Booty Judy"—passed away.
With remarkable vulnerability, Kornbread explores why Mother's Day becomes such a complicated emotional landscape for those who've lost their maternal figures. She takes us through the irreplaceable nature of a mother's love and understanding, from late-night advice sessions over wine and popcorn to those repeated phone calls that once seemed annoying but are now cherished memories. "I would give anything for her to be here with me," she confesses, capturing the essence of this particular grief journey.
What makes this conversation so powerful is Kornbread's honesty about the everyday moments we take for granted—those saved voicemails she still listens to, the cooking dates they used to share, the way her mother had the perfect words for every situation. She contrasts this genuine maternal support with the often superficial listening we get from friends, painting a vivid picture of what's truly lost when your mom is gone. For anyone who's experienced this specific loss, her words articulate feelings that can be hard to express.
Beyond her personal story, Kornbread celebrates her mother's Libra-hearted generosity that extended to becoming a maternal figure for many others. These stories offer beautiful examples of how one woman's mothering spirit created ripples far beyond her immediate family. Whether you're grieving your own mother or wanting to better support someone who is, this episode provides profound insight into an experience that transforms everything. If you're walking this path too, Kornbread's parting message offers gentle encouragement: "Keep pushing. I'm praying for you guys and you can do this. I know it's hard and it just takes time."
