Kapamilya star Jodi Sta. Maria traded the spotlight for service as she embraced her newest role as a Grief Support Practitioner, guiding parents and families navigating the unimaginable loss of a child. In a heartfelt post, Jodi shared how she partnered with Kythe Foundation to create a compassionate safe spaceโone where grief is honored, stories are held gently, and no parent feels alone.
โA grieving person will laugh againโฆ but it doesnโt mean they have moved on,โ she wrote, reminding families that healing is not forgetting but moving forward with love. The session ended with Ear Acudetox therapy, offering brief relief to heavy hearts. For Jodi, who facilitated the program for the first time, the moment was tender, humbling, and deeply important. Supported by NADA Philippines and Kythe volunteers, she thanked everyone who helped hold space for these families.
Her message echoed throughout the community: healing takes time, but the brokenhearted are never abandoned. Fans and fellow celebrities, including Iza Calzado, praised her for her sincerity, compassion, and willingness to serve beyond the screen. Kythe Foundation itself thanked her for โwalking alongsideโ grieving parents, proving once again that Jodiโs influence extends far beyond her rolesโinto lives, hearts, and healing.
