Jenika as a mother I want to say Chiquis has done a great job keeping you guys together as siblings . That is so important she is a great sister and mother. God bless you Jenika!
Dios
I agree. Chiquis has done amazing. ❤
Jenni worked for HER KIDS!! Jenika and the siblings are her legacy.. ❤️
My mom also passed Dec 9th 2005. I was 6 I’m 24 now. I was used to life without her but it hit hard once I got pregnant. Dec 9th 2020 I was in active labor & gave birth Dec 10th. I know she’s always with me 👼🏼 sending everyone who’s lost a loved one lots of love 🥺🤍
Also both of our birthdays are Oct 3rd 🫶
Like y’all are soul sisters 😯
@@yiselramirez6781 yes! My mom also left 5 children behind.. exactly 3 girls & 2 boys like her it’s crazy 🥺
❤❤❤
I lost my mother when I was 5. It also didn’t really hit me until I had my son. It hurts now more than ever. Something I thought I healed from, completely blindsided me with grief. I pray for healing for you 💞
I remember I used to love watching “I Love Jenni” and to watch those last episodes without her was hard
What episode was she last in?
The beautiful thing about you guys having a reality show back then is that you can go back to so many memories.
I need to see Vanessa Bryant on this podcast! 😭
Sad part is she left loving all these people so much and wanting the best for all her family. And glad she never gets to see the betrayal. Because in heaven she sees no evil or feels no pain. May god guide you all.
We know this was a hard episode! Thank for your vulnerability and rawness , everything your momma did was for you all and she would be so proud how you all have grown, even tho she’s not here physically, she’ll always be with you,
"A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses."
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember this day, my sister and I were literally watching Selena, when an interrupted broadcast came up of Jenny’s plane being lost. When we think back we’re like what a coincidence how we were watching that movie. Two amazing singers gone too soon ❤
I was watching Selena too!!!!!!
Saaame!!
Cried the whole time Jenicka! She is soooo missed 😭😭😭.
You and your sibilings are so strong with everything that is going on.
You should really have your Tio Lupe on your podcast 😭
Keeping a journal & writing the memories you want to always remember helps 🫶🏻 sending you a hug 🤎
Or you can also record a video or audio of those special memories of her so you won't forget them! You can keep adding new remembered memories whenever you recall them.
I will do that my Dad, thank you so much!
You always seemed like the strongest in your grief. Strong like your momma. 🦋
But also don't be afraid to grieve & let it all out, that will greatly help you heal more! You were strong for your family now be kind to YOU and grieve in your own needed way.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I was at the mall with my family gloomy day and my mom loves Jenni and when she found out she just couldn’t eat. That day she had her music on blast and still to this day… We all miss your mom 🤍🤍
I think everything happens for a reason. It brought you and your siblings closer. She was a strong woman and an inspiration to all. ❤
I remember this day… I cried for days and still do when I see or hear anything about her 😭
My mom was a huge Jenni fan her birthday is Dec 9th I remember how sad she was and it crazy how much I relate to you and ur story.. my mom passed away 6 years ago from a freeway collision with 2 semi trucks I remember getting out of school and my cousin telling me that I’m sorry about what happened ur mom got in a car crash and immediately locking myself in the restroom praying to God that she was okay and calling her like crazy sending her messages and once I got no response I just knew, I had a gut feeling that she had passed away 😞🥹 it the worst feeling in the entire world never will I ever forget that day and it continues to haunt me I still feel depressed till this day but I know she’s in heaven ❤
My siblings and I also got taken advantage of by our tíos and tías with the money my mom left behind for us she had her own business and insurance companies literally exactly like ur Tia Rosie my was my Tia Nancy and tíos who used our money but I promise to one day fight for what was ours so that my brother and sister can go to college or create a small business 🙏
I'm so sorry.❤ I wish I could hug you.🥺
Thank you for posting this my dad passed away 2 years ago this week it is hard but I know he is in heaven with God 🙏🏽
December 9th is me & my sisters birthday. I remembered when she passed away we were 12. Till this day we still celebrate her. We cheers to your momma every year on this day. May she continue to rest in peace ❤️🙏🏽
It must of been so hard to sit in front of the cámara and talk about all of those memories and situations , I just want to say thank you ! Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your side of things .
Jenni Rivera is and will forever be an icon .
Your mom on the other hand will always be YOUR MOM y eso nadie te lo quita 🫶
Where ever she may be I know she’s so proud to have you as her daughter …
I didn’t watch this they day you put it out I didn’t think I could handle your story of losing your mom that day I sat in front of the TV crying I can’t imagine what her babies went through 🥺 I pray that God continues to touch all of you and continues to protect all of you 🙏🏽
I lost my friend from cancer almost 5 months ago I wasn’t ready to go up and see her open casket I’m so glad I did because I felt like I could let go easier and say my goodbyes sorry for anyone that has lost a loved one 💔
It’s insane that I was 10 years old and remember arriving home from school to the news that her plane was lost. I even began to cry it was crazy because she was such an idol. A strong and brave woman. She is definitely proud of you! I pray god continues to give you the strength to you and all your family to keep pushing. I myself can’t imagine that pain and definitely don’t look forward to the day but God is always there. Love you Jenika!🤍
I remember that day as well. How panicked everyone was & I was here in NYC I can’t imagine how LA was.. The news was on all day in our home & prayers were constant for your momma. I loved the show so much & now I’ll still rewatch them & enjoy your mom’s music. My sister was always told she looked just like her & she’s puertorican but they really have such a resemblance! I’m glad you can heal a little more with this episode & I hope you know how insanely proud she would’ve been of you! One thing about her she always said how much she loved you & your siblings! You her gentle giant I remember she would say on the show.. You guys were her life & without a doubt she is still there protecting you all! It’s bittersweet but in Gods name you will reunite with her one day 🙏🏼 god bless you Jenicka ❤️
Wow I love how you express everything without talking bad about anybody else. A lot of people need to learn that. Ánimo and am sure Jenni Que en Paz descanse is so proud of ya.
Jenicka, your optimism is another reflection of your resemblance to your momma! Jenni definitely shines through you. 💕
My husband died the same year 2012 and my daughters still miss him and hurt soo much. I don’t think the pain ever goes away but my girls still have soo many memories of him and they were 4 and 11. Love you JENICKA stay strong 🙏🏼
Out of all your siblings you remind me of your mom the most, idk what it is you’re just caring and sweet and idk there’s just a special light that shines 🤍
your so strong jenicka not only you but your siblings as well can’t imagine what ill do without my mom . i have major respect for you and look up to you sm 😢❤️
This has been the only reason I come back to CZcams 😭❤️ for your podcast, thanks for sharing and creating a space for us all💗💗
I love your rawness and authenticity. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with us 🥺🩵 your mom is so missed. I know she’s looking down at you and your siblings and is so proud of you guys.
You are such a wonderful young woman. I admire your strength. It's not easy losing a mother, I also lost my mom 16 years ago unexpectedly. She was involved in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Every year on the date she passed, it still hurts knowing she's not with us and everything she is missing out. It doesn't get easier, but you learn to live with it. I understand your feelings. Keep being the wonderful young woman you are. Much love ❤️
I relate to you so much my mom passed away Oct 2, 2017 this year marks 6 years and it was on the freeway with 2 semi trucks very unexpectedly I remember everything vividly like it was yesterday but with time the memories tend to fade.. at the time I was 15 now I’m 21 and I remember a lot of people saying that everything will bc okay but with time you just feel numb, alone and you just learn to live with it and when your at your highest or have something to celebrate everything is just bittersweet bc u want to go and tell ur mom but u can’t I can relate to you❤️ Just know that she is forever with you and in your heart whenever you need her she’s with you ♾️🫶🏻
She was the only celeb who has passed that I cried for. She touched so many hearts! I remember being home and following the news so anxious those days praying that they would find her plane. December 16th marks 3 years since my dad passed away and I also get into those moods as it gets closer.
I’m so sorry you had to go through this, we all grew up listening to your mom and we deeply respect how all of you and your siblings get along and have each others back. May you guys continue to heal ❤️
You’re so strong for sharing this, your heart is so pure in genuine. Much respect to you love 🫶🏼 May your mom rest in peace and forever watch over you guys 💕
Thank you for being so vulnerable, i'm sure it is very difficult to go back to December 9th. All i can say is continue loving one another because that is how your momma was on stage. When she would come to our small town not to far from LA, i would always make it. I just loved her strength, joy but most of all her laughter and heart 💛. May you and your family find joy in your memories.
This did not feel like a 30 min video! Thank you for sharing! We are all grieving with you still! Bless you and your siblings always! 🩷
She was the best and we all love her till now. Thank you for sharing even tho there’s pain behind it. So proud of you!
It was my first time visiting Mexico, I was in the airport when I saw the news go all over the screens. I was hopeful that your mom’s plane would be found. 🥺 I loved your mom, and watching you all on tv. I think what hurt me the most was knowing that you all were going to grow up without her. You all are very strong and have grown so much strength. ❤
oh baby 🥺 I’m so so sorry for everything that you and your siblings went through. You guys are all so strong, I know she would be so proud of everything you guys have accomplished 🤍
My dear Jenicka, I thank God for making you the strong woman you are today. I lost my uncle 11 years ago and it doesn’t get easier. I am 29 years old and I thank the lord above us that I have my parents with me but I can’t imagine a life without them. You’re a true inspiration and I admire your maturity through all the hard obstacles you’ve been through. I can honestly say I look up to you and your siblings and hope and pray when that time comes my siblings and I can finally speak and become one like you guys. I love you and keep your head up queen. You’re beautiful and I know your mama is very proud of the woman you are today despite the hurt you’ve gone through.
Thank you for being vulnerable. I know your admirers can relate & sympathize. This type of grief is unimaginable. Praying for healing & peace 🤍
wow Jenicka! I am so proud of the woman that you have grown up to be with the help of your momma guiding you from heaven. She is most definitely proud of ALL of you! Y’all are doing a great job! 😢 losing someone so young and so significant in your life is life changing but it builds you up and makes you appreciate the small things that money can’t buy! Thank you for opening up bc you didn’t have to. ❤
You will always remember that day no matter what. The years can pass by, but still it hurts 💔 Jenni rest in peace 🙏
Thank you for sharing your feelings being vulnerable with your followers . The real ones are here to support you in your journey your so loved . Love your podcast ❤
I remember this day so clearly I was I'm shock and sad. I couldn't believe it. I always loved to watch I ♡ Jenni show. She's truly missed.
I lost my mom last year on June 16th, 2022 she passed away the day after my due date I feel as if she was waiting for me to give birth because she knew the due date witch was June 15th, I gave birth 3 days after her passing June 19th, 2022 on Father’s Day. I felt her with me as I was giving birth and it was the most hardest feeling to be grieving my mom and bring new life all at once it felt like such a bluer. Us as woman giving birth all you want and yearn for is our moms love and presence to comfort you through the pain as I was pushing my baby girl out I felt a strong squeeze on my left arm mind you my fiancé was on the right side of me I know that was my mommy helping me push through like she was their when I gave birth to my first daughter she was so proud of me having my baby natural and said see mamas you’re strong just like me I love you so much 🤍🥺🕊️
This was so raw. Thank you so much for sharing. Sending you a big warm hug 💜💜
TE AMO JENICKA🫶🏽 you’re so beautiful & you have a great personality!! you inspire me so much, thank you!🤍 God bless y’all always.
This bought so many memories back. I remember exactly where I was when this happened and I first heard the news. We were coming back from Perris CA, I was having such a good time with my cousins since my mom couldn’t come because she had given birth on the 2nd. We were back in LA that morning & I clearly remember it being a cloudy gray day. We heard it on the radio, one of my cousins started crying while I was sitting in the back shocked. It was so hard to believe, we hoped for a good outcome. She wasn’t just the diva, she was someone’s mom, working hard for her kids ❤. Now that I’m 24, I can’t help to think how you guys were waiting for her to come home and spend the holidays together. I can’t take a shot 🤰 but will definitely have you in my prayers these holidays 🫶🏻
Te amo jenicka y’all are so strong it still hurts till this day to me as well ..
Jenni will live on forever. I know she’s proud of you & your siblings 😭🩷 watching i love Jenni , you all were her life, the reason why she worked so hard and did everything for. I loved seeing her as a mother . She was the best mom. I’m so sorry 🩷🩷
I’m a very proud of you guys!! The way you guys have GROWN & GLOWED since you guys detached from your family.
Jenicka , thank you for sharing this … you’re so strong and i know your mom is proud you and your siblings 🤍 it made me emotional , because your mom was not just your mom but she was a beautiful human being who impacted a lot of people and a lot of people loved her . I’m sure your story and experiences, is gonna help those who lost loved one and been in the same situation. Take care , god blesses you and your siblings .
My mom passed away when I was 26 in 2020. And how I miss her scent the way you explained it made me choke I know what you mean. A hug, just to hold my momma again. And be with her.
i’m so sorry jenicka 😢 this was such an emotional and heartbreaking episode but i loved it ❤️🥹
🥹❤️ aww Jenicka you seem like the sweetest most humble girl ever! I admire the person you are regardless of you not having your mom or dad here anymore you’ve grown up to be an amazing person that I’m sure your mom is super proud of watching from up above 🥺❤️ 👼
I am going through so much rn… I feel so alone. Thank you for posting ❤
thank you for sharing this episode ❤ Im positive she is so proud of all of you! Sending love during these hard times. We miss her sm😭💔
my heart
Losing my mom at a young age was one of the most difficult things I’ve had to go through. Sending you hugs.
Definitely can relate when you said, The aftermath. My mama was also the rock in our family and kept everyone together. Now, things are definitely different. It’s been 4 years since my mom passed away and it still feels like it was just yesterday, we just need to continue to be strong. 🤍 love you guys!! Thanks for sharing !
Sending u & your siblings much love ❤️ as a momma I wouldn’t want my son to carry this type of grief for life 🥹 you are one strong woman 🙏🤍
Sending you all my love and comfort for the holidays . We love you and appreciate your openness ♥️ mama sure left a mark on everyone while her time here, but She’s with you and your family at every point . Even if you can’t remember certain memories , you’ll always know who she was, cherish that and hold on to that until you meet again♥️
I always look forward to you’re podcasts, you’re such a strong soul 🥹thank you for sharing you’re story 💟
I relate to you and your siblings so much because my dad passed away unexpectedly and he was also the financial and emotional support for us as well. It hasn’t been the same. My siblings and I aren’t as close to family. When you said, it’s been dark ever since that’s exactly how it feels and he wasn’t famous but he was our center and it doesn’t go away for sure. But, memories have faded for me too. I was told by a therapist it’s a trauma response and our mind blocking it to protect us from pain. But we never move on we just learn to cope and have faith they will greet us when we go home to God. ❤
Thank you for sharing 🥹💕 my sons dad passed Dec 24 and the whole month is always so difficult for him. We love and send you lots of hugs
Your mom is going to be a rockstar forever❤ and you said it right, it has been dark for all of us ever since she left. I became a mom this year and I’m single parenting and you don’t know how bad I need a Jenny Rivera concert to aid my heartache. I was too young when your mom was with us. I read your mom’s book years ago around your age now and it was so powerful.
Thank you for sharing this with us and being so real about it. Your life is going to change when you also have kids. Your heart is going to become more deep and you will be visited by so many angels and your mom will reveal so much to you I promise.
I’m not breastfeeding so I’m for sure going to only take 1 shot on Saturday 🩵❤️
Your episodes being a different type of healing ❤️🩹 that maybe some people don’t talk about. May God continue to Bless your family ❣️
i love these solo type of podcast 🫶🏼
Shes watching over you guys! She worked her ass off for yall and look how wonderful you guys became!!!! Blessing all of us and just being so real and genuine 🩷✨ shes watching over yall and is always with yall!
Thanks for being so vulnerable jenika I and ur sibling always have my full support ❤
Jenicka, THANK YOU for sharing your story. We love ❤️ you and your siblings.
Your Mom is looking down and so proud of all of you..
I loss my parents a month and a half from each other! It hurts no matter what! I’m watching you and sobbing thinking of my parents. I feel like only if you’ve been through the loss you understand each other!
My grandpa was in the hospital watching the news of your mom's passing. I remember him being horrified and thinking what happened wasn't real. He passed away 3 days later. I've always been a fan of your mom's music and knowing that the anniversary of their passing was so close oddly gives me a type of relief. ❤ stay strong Jenicka!
I appreciate that you shared this intimate piece of you with us. We saw little Jenicka come out and express herself too. Much blessings and love to you, your mom, and your sibilings
My heart breaks for you watching this video🥺 you guys were so young and robbed of a lifetime of memories, but I can tell you this being a huge fan of not only I love Jenni, but of the Rivera’s. She raised amazing, beautiful children and that is something to be so proud of especially as a mother I know that she is looking down on you guys with such admiration and always remember you don’t need to feel like you need to move on. There is no moving on because she lives within you and through you every day and her spirit will continue to live on through you guys and all of her fans.❤🦋🦋
❤❤❤ this was a beautiful episode Jenicka much respect to your your mom lives through all you guys
This is the pain that I will NEVER be able to imagine myself going through . I feel so ungrateful sometimes bc I have both my parents and it’s such an honor to still have them . Thank you for sharing your side of the story . You touched my heart. Much love to youu 🤧❤️🩹.
It’s the worse feeling 😢
Dear stranger, Hope you don’t encounter that feeling for years even decades
You're so sweet, thank you for sharing your story. I love following you and your siblings stories. Big fan! Keep up all the great work and keep the faith😊😘
Thank you so much! for sharing this ♥️ a big hug from costa rica! you always make happy with your podcast your such a inspiration for me and for so many girls!! ✨ keep shining you deserve everything good
You are so strong jenika! I was 11 when this tragedy happened and was absolutely devastated. You are amazing and I hope you know your mom is smiling so hard up in heaven looking down at you ❤️
You’re amazing and she’s so proud of you 😭🦋🤍💫🙏🏼
I’m so sorry you had to go through that, thank you for sharing with us your experience. Sending positive vibes to you are your family during this difficult time. Hoping one day the footage of your moms last concert can come out on dvd for her fans to see:)
I was your age jenika when I lost my mom and a year later I lost my dad. She’s your guardian angel and her strong soldier. I’m a firm believer now as an adult that god took our parent to break generaltional curses and to be leaders. ❤
I lost my mom March 27 2020 and that was the worst day of my life a part of me died that day and I still to this day have such a hard time accepting it that I’ve held back on visiting her grave cause i knew I would have to accept it. If god gave me the choice to choose my mom or me I’d choose me all the way. She deserves to experience life to the fullest and not have her time cut short. Holidays are so much harder. My mom was a big fan of your mom she’s always play her music while she was cleaning the house and after she passed I’ve felt such a strong connection with you guys. But I can’t listen to your mom’s music without bawling my eyes out. You have no clue who I am but I pray and think about you guys constantly 🤍
I remember watching your family show and the time this happened .. I recently lost my mom in a car accident and I can relate to your story now . Thank you for sharing and helping me heal ❤❤❤❤❤
Love how open you are ❤thank you
This was beautiful 😢. I’d like to hear what each of your siblings were doing/feeling that same day. You’re right about having mixed emotions when time has passed when your love ones are gone! 😢 🙏🏼
crazy how i remember that day, it was my moms birthday and we we're constantly checking the news & till this day it still makes me cry 😢
❤❤ RIP Jenni 🦋 ❤️❤️
You and your siblings deserve the best❤
Stay strong ❤ I remember that day and feeling so sad about her being gone
Omggggg i know ima cry 😭 i havent even started watching and i already wanna cry! I dont know you personally or your siblings but you and your siblings have always been in my heart ♥️ and just know that your mother did such a good job raising yall and you guys are such wonderful people y todo mi respeto para chiquis✨
My mom passed away December 9th 2021. I remember vividly when we hear the news about your mom and how my mom started crying. She was not only a big fan of your moms but she really looked up to her and admired her. And the day my mom passed , seeing it was the same date as yours, gave me chills but it was like wow of course she would pass to go to the gates of heaven to see your mom perform ❤️ Pain never goes away but we will continue to honor them until our days comes as well. Sending you so much love.
Thank you for sharing Jenicka 🤍
Your mom is so proud of the strong woman you have become jenicka. Blessings to you and your siblings 🙏
I grew up listening to your moms music and then watched I love Jenni and The Riveras I love your family so much 🥺 I remember when the news was out about your mom I was working at a Mexican restaurant and we had the tv on and it was your moms funeral everyone was in tears. I keep up with you and your siblings I’m so happy you guys are all doing so well your mom is so proud watching you from where she is ❤️ Love you Jenicka ❤️❤️
Rest in peace jenni 🙏 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
My grandfather passed away in February, I remember that 2 years before I didn't speak to the whole family, We apologized to each other and I was able to be with him on his last 10 days without know it was his last 10 days. My heart goes out to you because grief is so unknown!
I’m so sorry Jenika 😔 . My mom passed when I was 27 and my sister was 18. We were so attached to her , it’s by far the most painful heartbreak we have experienced. Since then I’ve taken my little sister under my wing and we fucken miss her. The holidays are hard. But as you may know, our mothers are everywhere , even though they are gone, we see her in our siblings, we see her in ourselves. They will leave little messages. Sending you a huge hug❤
I listen to your mamis music every day ❤️ im so sorry this happened to you Jenicka. Love you girl. I know your mom is extremely proud of you
