Still looking for a heartfelt holiday gift? ✨Here are the final two designs from our 2025 collection. Each e-card carries a message you can send with intention.

💖 Liwanag
Liwanag honors the quiet strength of compassion: the hands that reach out to listen, to hold space for others. Send this to someone whose kindness lights up your world or whom you know embodies the spirit of giving and care.

🌌 Langit
Looking at the same sky connects us, no matter the distance. Langit celebrates these shared bonds, a perfect tribute to loved ones near and far. You send this to express gratitude across any distance.

This season, send warmth, even from miles away. Your personalized e-card not only brightens a loved one's day but also lights the path to healing for someone in need through free counseling.

The circumstances and the object of loss shape how we grieve. Nonetheless, grief is hard to predict, as feelings are often unbidden. Despite our unique and layered experiences, reading about the possible types of grief, as experienced by other people, can help us recognize our own reactions, accept our feelings, and move towards healing.
Here are some experiences of grief:

- Anticipatory Grief: Grieving that happens before the loss occurs (e.g. terminal illness or leaving one's home).
- Abbreviated Grief: Grieving the loss for a shorter time, often after anticipatory grief.
- Delayed Grief: Experiencing emotions only weeks, months or years after the loss.
- Collective Grief: Communal loss such as disasters, wars, pandemics can bring about shared grief.
- Traumatic Grief: Processing loss and trauma at the same time can complicate grief.
- Disenfranchised Grief: Isolated feelings of grief when other people signal that your loss is invalid.
- Absent Grief: Inhibited outward signs of grief, perhaps due to shock or denial.

These are just some kinds of grief. The weight, duration, and even complication can vary but grieving for your loss is always valid. However, if you find yourself struggling to cope and functioning ineffectively, perhaps reaching out to a mental health professional may be in order.

This holiday season, we’re bringing back something close to our hearts. ♥️
The BPS Lights of Hope E-Card Fundraiser is now open.

For four years, our Brief Psychological Services have offered free online counseling to Filipino adults who need someone to talk to. Many are reaching out for the first time. This work continues because of people who choose to share their light.

Our 2025 holiday collection comes with four new e-card designs inspired by hope, guidance, kindness, and gratitude. When you send an e-card to someone you care about, your donation helps fund a free counseling session for someone in need. ✨
Send light. Give hope.

20/11/2025

Grief is our natural yet often painful response to loss. Whether we part ways with a loved one, a career, a home, or even a time in our lives--grief can accompany us in many ways. In the next few weeks, we’ll try to unpack the different dimensions of grief, starting with some common manifestations.

Physical Manifestations
Grief can take a toll on our bodies. The stress can make us weak and fatigued. Headaches, tightness in the chest, palpitations, digestive issues, body pains, and insomnia are common experiences.

Emotional Manifestations
The emotions of grief can come in waves of sadness, anger, guilt, and regret. Sometimes, it can even manifest as detachment, keeping us on autopilot during the day. What’s important to remember is that there are no right or wrong feelings at any given time.

Cognitive & Behavioral Manifestations
Grief can make it difficult to concentrate, make decisions, and keep track of our responsibilities. It’s normal to struggle with work, school, or even chores. On the flipside, we might find ourselves productive and busy, taking time away to feel grief.

Recognizing how we respond to loss is often the first step to healing. Everyone has a different timeline in this experience. However, if you find yourself struggling to cope and function effectively, perhaps reaching out to a mental health professional may be in order.
