Scenario

When caring for someone with dementia involves grieving them while they're living

I had to put my dad in memory care and sell his house in the same week and it feels like he died even though he's still alive.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Progressive illness creates anticipatory loss that must be grieved while still providing care for the person who remains.
