Summary
Grief looks different depending on where in the world you are. In this episode of My Mom Died, Gabri Segui sits down with Helen and Celine, two women from Germany, one now living in New Zealand, to talk about what losing a mom looks like across different cultures. They cover the shocking differences in bereavement leave, why some cultures are blunt about death while others avoid it entirely, what anticipatory grief feels like when you watch a parent fade from cancer, the guilt of grieving from another country, and grieving not just your mom but the version of yourself you were before she died. Above all, this episode is a reminder that talking about grief openly, even when it makes people uncomfortable, is one of the most healing things you can do.
