Tippy shared that taking things one day at a time helped her slowly cope with her grief. "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 'yung pag-handle ko sa kanya I think is better than yesterday."

"That'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's the most basic advice I can give on how to cope with loss and grief."

The singer confessed that she doesn't think she will feel 100 percent okay as she will always miss her mother. "I am not yet 100 percent, and I don't think I will ever be 100 percent because I will always miss my mom and that's also the beauty of it. You know, you're loved so much, and you loved so much and that's why there is grief... But you have to take it one day at a time and be kind to yourself."

"My mom is the most supportive person I know not only sa amin ng family namin but to anybody that needed support. That was the greatest thing about my mom. And parang feeling ko na not only was it present for us, but I guess it rubbed on us din na I feel that I am also very supportive to the people that I love," she said.

"With support came presence and my mom was very present and I guess kaya 'yung absence niya sobrang nararamdaman, kasi nga sobrang present niya sa buhay namin, sa buhay ng lahat ng tao."
