A loved one develops dementia, and she is there, but she isn’t. Or he is abducted, and may come back, or he might not. And so we experience “ambiguous loss,” a grey, unresolved state that presents unique challenges to our mental and emotional well being … and that must be recognized and respected.

In this timely conversation, Dr. Pauline Boss — who established the term in the ‘70s and elevated it to prominence — speaks with Exit Strategy Host Stephanie Garry about what we should know about ambiguous loss and how we should approach it as individuals, as families, and as communities.
