<p>Jackie Lou Blanco opened up how she has been coping with the heartbreaking losses of two important people in her life, her mother, Pilita Corrales, and her ex-husband, Ricky Davao.</p><p>&quot;By God&#x27;s grace, Boy. God&#x27;s love I take it a day at a time which is the same thing I tell my children. Let&#x27;s take it a day at a time. There will be a day that when we are okay, the next day we are not okay and it&#x27;s okay because there are no shortcuts to grief,&quot; she said in an interview with Boy Abunda.</p><p>The actress admitted that the grief has been especially difficult to process, having lost both her mother and former partner in such close succession.</p><p>&quot;But for me I think it was harder because my brain couldn&#x27;t process that I lost mom and then now I lost Ricky. It&#x27;s like there are days I am thinking of mom and crying for mom. Then after a while I am crying for Ricky and crying for my children because I know how hard it is for them and how hard it will be for a long time,&quot; she stated.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CvCDU8hhb3I/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=630&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A5959031.899999991%2C%22ls%22%3A128494.09999999404%2C%22le%22%3A129128.29999999702%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1095" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>When asked how these recent losses have shaped her outlook on death, Jackie shared a heartfelt reflection: &quot;What I&#x27;ve realized is when you lose a loved one even with my situation with Ricky, what is left is just love. I don&#x27;t think of the not so good times, I don&#x27;t think of anything else but what last pala talaga is love both for mom and Ricky.&quot;</p><p>She added that her grief for Ricky came with a different emotional weight, given their past separation. &quot;But I think I am experiencing that more with Ricky because with mom I didn&#x27;t have naman a separation of sorts but with Ricky I did although I am happy that we got to a point where things were better. But pala when there is death all you remember is love and love stays. It may be a different kind of love but it&#x27;s love that stays,&quot; she said.</p>
