Currently reading Loving Someone Who Has Dementia, by Pauline Boss. I recommend it highly. It reiterates much of what she wrote in Ambiguous Loss and has a lot of excellent advice for caregivers

I read it a while back. I agree with your assessment. It helped me understand what I was feeling.

I appreciate the coping mechanisms and self assessment tools. I'm reading a library copy, but this is a book I might actually purchase.

Excellent book, helped me very much, especially in dealing with my grief.
There is a post out there started by Iris which provides book recommendations. I'll see if I can find it and bring it to the top here.
