Abstract
Losses during the COVID-19 pandemic presented people with a unique type of compounded grief. This study explores how individuals foster resilience in coping with COVID-19-related losses by investigating two research questions. Open-ended survey responses were coded using the Communication Theory of Resilience (CTR) framework, revealing how individuals enact certain resilience processes and how interactions contribute to resilience efforts. Findings demonstrate how interactions that supported resilience processes were generally perceived as helpful, while interactions that conflicted with resilience processes were considered harmful. The study provides ongoing support for the CTR framework and resilience scholarship.
