This article addresses experiences of transnational end-of-life care among aging Filipina migrants before and during COVID-19. de Leon addresses the emotional costs associated with loving and losing kin from a distance both before and during the pandemic, drawing on their autobiographical account of distant care by proxy during their aunt's wake and funeral. Blower-Nassiri highlights the exacerbated fears and anxieties around dying, illness, and end-of-life among aging migrants, drawing on two life histories of retired nurses who recalled moments of loss and being absent for end-of-life events, such as funerals, before and during the pandemic. Together, de Leon and Blower-Nassiri provide an intimate portrait of three Filipina migrants' experiences with end-of-life care and loss. They further address the limitations of the life course framework in their consideration of how care carries on, across generations through end-of-life practices and rituals that signal an accrual of loss over time
