The brief descriptions of gedit I was able to find
online [I'm currently in the MS-Windows side of my
dual boot, thus unable to "see" the gedit manual]
didn't describe it as a "journaling" editor, that
records every keystroke like vim does, mentioned
backup files but didn't say whether they were backed
up only at start of edit, or periodically, and
didn't mention a recovery option at startup time, so
unless you can find something to the contrary in the
gedit manual, you may have to do your edits over.
