Rica Peralejo, a Filipina former actress known for her work in both television and film, recently moved netizens to tears after she penned an honest and heartfelt message about grief and loss.

Through a post on Threads, Rica offered a glimpse into her thoughts—sharing how her coping has evolved over the years, especially after experiencing some of life's most painful moments.

"I have reached that point where I really feel like hindi ko na kaya pa ng great loss muna. Dati lahat kaya ko. Wala ko nararamdaman. Power through ang drama," Rica wrote, describing how she once approached hardship with emotional endurance and resilience by 'powering through.'

However, things have changed after enduring one painful loss after another, admitting her heart is no longer the same like before, "But after 3 miscarriages, losing father, losing sister, nanghingi na muna ako kay Lord ng pahinga kasi parang bibigay na yung puso ko. Hindi ko na kaya mawalan."

The candid message struck a chord with many netizens, who poured their own stories of grief and empathy into the comments, while some comforted the former actress, and others as well.

"Same feeling po until now."

"Hugs! Sending prayers, love, and light."

"I feel you. Kaya its difficult for me to receive love."

"Feeling that way too. Lost my dad and my mom this year. 4 months apart lang."

"Napakasakit talaga mawalan ng mahal sa buhay. I lost my parents last year, 6 months apart. I am an only child. It is really tough."

Rica's post served as a space for shared healing, with her vulnerability resonating with others.

Rica Peralejo is a former Filipino actress who began her career as a child star on ABS‑CBN's youth-oriented variety show Ang TV. She rose to prominence through teen dramas like T.G.I.S. and Gimik, and various teleseryes including Mula sa Puso and Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay. Today, Rica leads a life beyond the limelight. She married pastor Joseph Bonifacio, and is now a mother of two sons. Transitioning from the big screen to online content, Rica now has a platform where she shares personal insights, motherhood experiences, and advocacy that has earned a following.

As previously reported by KAMI, Rica Peralejo rehomed her dog Waffle after realizing she couldn't give him the attention he deserved due to certain demands. Rica expressed gratitude and sadness, calling the decision painful but ultimately the right and most loving choice. Though rehomed, Waffle remains close to Rica's heart, and her family can still visit him when they miss him.

Meanwhile, back in April, Rica Peralejo took to social media to address some questions. On Instagram's Threads, Rica shared she was asked how her family can still travel. According to Rica, someone asked about the matter since her husband is a known pastor. Needless to say, the former actress responded with grace, saying that she understood why some people are curious.
