Dr. Boss helps caregivers find hope in "ambiguous loss"—having a loved one both here and not here, physically present but psychologically absent. - Outlines seven guidelines to stay resilient while caring for someone who has dementia - Discusses the meaning of relationships with individuals who are cognitively impaired and no longer as they used to be - Offers approaches to understand and cope with the emotional strain of care-giving Boss's book builds on research and clinical experience, yet the material is presented as a conversation. She shows you a way to embrace rather than resist the ambiguity in your relationship with someone who has dementia.
