Living with Ambiguous Loss Support Group
Virtual Event
This 4-week online caregiver support group will provide an opportunity for care partners of individuals living with dementia to come together to support each other through the caregiving experience, with a structured focus on the concept of “Ambiguous Loss”. This group is inspired by Pauline Boss’ book “Loving Someone With Dementia“.
Learning Objectives
- Develop an understanding of the concept of “Ambiguous Loss” and ambiguous loss in the context of dementia, and how this unique type of loss differs from other losses
- Develop coping strategies to implement in their own lives
- Obtain a better understanding of their own experiences of grief related to caring for their family member
- Engage in self reflection and share insights related to their caregiving experience
- Learn from others on adjusting to the losses and their own changing relationship to self and others
