The typical highlight of Filipino mourning of conducting funerals and burials has ceased due to recent health guidelines which required the deceased, who tested positive for the virus, to be cremated and buried right away to avoid further spread of the disease - making bereavement more complicated. This paper investigates the experiences of bereaved Filipino families who lost their loved ones to COVID-19 through a qualitative research design. Researchers explored the experiences of at least three (3) COVID-19 bereaved families through a descriptive phenomenological approach and analyzed the data using thematic analysis to extract the bereavement process experienced by the participants. The findings of the study highlight the changes to the Filipino funeral practice caused by the pandemic and the major roles of connectedness, and cultural and religious beliefs in the Filipino bereavement experience.
由于最近的健康指南要求，对病毒检测呈阳性的死者要立即火化和埋葬，以避免疾病的进一步传播，这使得原本菲律宾人哀悼葬礼和埋葬的典型亮点不再，让丧亲之痛变得更加复杂。本文通过定性研究设计，调查了因新冠肺炎失去亲人的菲律宾丧亲家庭的经历。研究人员通过描述性现象学方法，探索了至少三（3）个新冠肺炎丧亲家庭的经历，并使用主题分析对数据进行分析，以提取参与者所经历的丧亲过程。该研究的结果突出了疫情大流行对菲律宾葬礼习俗造成的变化，以及人际关系、文化和宗教信仰在菲律宾丧亲经历中的主要作用。
