Abstract
In this two-wave longitudinal study of chronically ill adults, COVID-related loss of resources (e.g., social support, health, and income) was associated with greater depression and personal suffering. Controlling for demographics and prepandemic mental health, positive religious coping buffered the impact of COVID-19 resource loss on depression but not suffering.
