<p>Tippy dos Santos shared details about her journey of coping with grief and loss in her latest YouTube vlog.  </p><p>The singer-turned-lawyer lost her mother, Happy Esquivias-Dos Santos, in December of last year due to a car accident in Korea.</p><p>Tippy described the pain that she felt after losing her mom as &quot;all consuming &#x27;yung pain, all consuming &#x27;yung loss.&quot;</p><p>She went on: &quot;Tapos di ko makita &#x27;yung future. Di ko makita kailan siya magiging okay kasi &#x27;yung sakit niya like bunbunan hanggang paa, so hindi ko ma-reconcile how do I go from this point to a point of being okay.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="1688" height="651" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BxxRwIu4S1k" title="answering your questions :) | babies + how to cope with loss + regret + advice to barristers &amp; more" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Tippy shared that taking things one day at a time helped her slowly cope with her grief. &quot;I guess ang naka-help sa akin was to take things one day at a time. Today was better than yesterday. The pain, the sadness, the loss, buong-buo pa rin pero &#x27;yung pag-handle ko sa kanya I think is better than yesterday.&quot;</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s why it helps to just take things one day at at time. Plan today, be present today, and look back at yesterday and think I did a better job today than I did yesterday. I guess that&#x27;s the most basic advice I can give on how to cope with loss and grief.&quot;</p><p>The singer confessed that she doesn&#x27;t think she will feel 100 percent okay as she will always miss her mother. &quot;I am not yet 100 percent, and I don&#x27;t think I will ever be 100 percent because I will always miss my mom and that&#x27;s also the beauty of it. You know, you&#x27;re loved so much, and you loved so much and that&#x27;s why there is grief... But you have to take it one day at a time and be kind to yourself.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy_iyJpVAF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A6270474%2C%22ls%22%3A17184.90000000596%2C%22le%22%3A17200.80000001192%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="0" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px;min-width:326px;padding:0px;position:absolute"></iframe><blockquote class=" instagram-media-registered" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy_iyJpVAF/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" id="instagram-media-payload-1" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy_iyJpVAF/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgy_iyJpVAF/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Stephanie Dos Santos - Porcuna (@tippydossantos8)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Tippy also took a trip back down memory lane and shared what she admired most about her mom.</p><p>&quot;My mom is the most supportive person I know not only sa amin ng family namin but to anybody that needed support.
