    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.
