My Mom Was Diagnosed After New Year and Gone by March (Melissa's Story)

In this episode, Gabri sits down with listener Melissa, whose world flipped in a matter of weeks. Melissa’s mom was diagnosed just after New Year’s of 2025 and transitioned by March, and Gabri names what so many people feel when loss moves faster than your mind can process it: your brain still cannot accept what happened, and that does not mean you are broken. It means you are human.Melissa opens up about what it is like to carry grief when there was barely time to prepare, how it can change the way you show up, and why hearing other people talk about grief can make you feel less alone in it. If you have ever felt behind your own life after loss, this conversation puts language to that shock and helps normalize the confusion, the numbness, and the reality that your heart may understand before your brain does.💜 Stay ConnectedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mymomdiedpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mymomdiedpod🎥 Watch on YouTubeSubscribe: 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 BookStore: https://apt205.store/products/it-came-with-me📬 Join the CommunitySign up for the newsletter:https://mailchi.mp/179400ef58c5/my-mom-died🕊️ Share Your StoryHave a story about grief or healing you’d like to share?
