Acclaim for the work of Pauline Boss and her book Loving Someone Who Has Dementia, Jossey-Bass, 2011
A gift to caregivers, in particular "boomers" who find themselves in a role for which they are unprepared...intelligent and sensitive...a fine contribution.
Gail Sheehy, best selling author of Passages in Caregiving
With her work on ambiguous loss, Pauline Boss has shed much-needed light on a difficult human frontier. Now she brings her original insight to those caring for a loved one with dementia. Her knowledge is leavened by the rarer quality of wisdom. And so she truly offers a "psychological journey toward meaning and hope" that practically addresses the hardest realities of life, love, self-care, and loss.
Krista Tippett, creator and host of public radio's On Being; author, Einstein's God
Pauline Boss's book is a revelation about how to live with a profoundly changed relationship that, despite dementia, remains a relationship. This groundbreaking therapist takes the struggling reader by the hand and offers new and very specific ways to find a path from helplessness and despair to peace and strength.
