Are you experiencing feelings of loss and grief as the person you care for changes over time? This is called ambiguous loss, and refers to the loss you feel when someone living with dementia is still physically here, but not present in the same way as before. 

This session will provide an overview of ambiguous loss and grief, how it may impact both the care partner and person living with dementia, along with various coping strategies for working with these emotions. We will also discuss the Alzheimer Society’s 8-week ambiguous loss support group and how to get connected. 

Presented by: Samantha Holland, BA, BSW, RSW, First Link® Regional Team Lead, Alzheimer Society of Manitoba
