AARP Digital Editions offer you practical tips, proven solutions, and
expert guidance. In Loving Someone Who Has Dementia, Pauline Boss
provides research-based advice for people who care for someone with
dementia. Nearly half of U.S. citizens over the age of 85 are
suffering from some kind of dementia and require care. Loving Someone
Who Has Dementia is a new kind of caregiving book. It's not about the
usual techniques, but about how to manage on-going stress and grief.
The book is for caregivers, family members, friends, neighbors as well
as educators and professionals—anyone touched by the epidemic of
dementia. 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.
