Note. Resilient: Parameter estimates for pre-event slope latent basis slope factor: 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 and parameter estimates for post-event slope latent basis slope factor 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.02, 0.43, 0.38, 0.62, 1 for the time interval −5 years to 5 years in relation to spousal loss.

Chronic low: Parameter estimates for pre-event slope latent basis slope factor: 0, 0.11, 0.27, 0.34, 1.01, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 and parameter estimates for post-event slope latent basis slope factor 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.16, 0.70, 0.68, 0.83, 1 for the time interval −5 years to 5 years in relation to spousal loss.
