Abstract Throughout the world, there is growing concern and news regarding the refugee crisis. Syrian refugees are one of the largest populations of refugees, and a small percentage of refugees are successfully relocated in relation to the growing number of refugees. Utilizing communicative resilience, this research aims to focus on the different processes of communicative resilience that Syrian refugees utilized within online narratives gathered from multiple reputable online sites. The directed content analysis did reveal the processes that are included within communicative resilience along with additional themes. The overall conclusion from this research emphasizes how refugees are able to utilize the instability and unknown of their journeys as the foundation of creating and building resilience.
