Loving Someone Who Has Dementia: How to Find Hope while Coping with Stress and Grief by Pauline Boss is a concise nonfiction guide for family caregivers, partners, and professionals who support people living with dementia. Boss is best known for developing the concept of ambiguous loss, and this book applies that framework directly to dementia care. Its central purpose is to explain why dementia creates a particularly difficult kind of grief: the loved one is still physically present, yet increasingly altered in memory, personality, and communication. Rather than treating caregiving stress as a simple problem of adaptation, the book recognizes the ongoing uncertainty and emotional strain built into the experience. It combines psychological insight with practical guidance, helping readers make sense of their feelings, reduce isolation, and develop coping habits that support resilience over time. In the dementia caregiving genre, it stands out for focusing not only on the needs of the person with dementia, but also on the unresolved grief of those who remain engaged in care.
