Integrated matrix of experiences of resilience by dyad type.

	Type II dyads: Caregiver-oriented Dyads: 2,4, 6, 7,8,10,12 Resilience Mean = 3.16 (± 1.04), Score range = 1.33 – 4.00	Type III dyads: Collaborative Dyads: 1,3,5,9,11 Resilience, Mean = 4.07 (± 1.36) Score range = 2.00 – 5.00
Low resilience Dyads: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 Mean = 2.22 (± 0.81) Score range = 1.33 – 3.33	“She needs help with a lot of things, and I try to be there for her. Personally, it really gets hard sometimes, but that’s the way it is.” (Caregiver 6) “Unfortunately, he’s sick and he also is my only outlet. So, I kind of- and I, have been flying off the handle with him so I’m not really handling it very well at all.” (Caregiver 10)	“I do everything. Literally everything. He never took the trash out all his, life. Now, he sits when I’m pumping gas. He’s in the car. So those are, things that I’m used to. And I always only worry that if I can’t do it who, will do it?” (Caregiver 1)
High resilience Dyads: 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12 Mean = 4.52 (± 0.54) Score range = 3.83 – 5.00	“I don’t know, we just do it. When I’m faced with something you just do it as, best you can. Some things are harder to get through than other things, and you just, you basically do what you have to do.” (Caregiver 8) “You have to stay calm. Stay focused. Sweat it out and think things out.”, (Patient 12)	“And sometimes you have to go through - well I believe things happen for a, reason and I tell [patient], I wouldn’t be here today had I not gone, through all the discomforts… “ (Caregiver 3) “The problems and stress that I have today really are minimal compared, to the stresses I’ve had in the past, so I just think back to what real problems are, and this is too certainly a real problem, but it’s something that I guess I try to deal with the best way I can.” (Caregiver 9) “You know, we don’t ever see eye-to-eye all the time, but just being able to just listen. You know, sometimes that’s all it takes. You don’t have to respond or say anything.” (CarWEegiver 11)
