Ambiguous Loss: A Concept of Emotional Absence
Ambiguous loss is the feeling of being with someone who is physically present but emotionally or psychologically absent. This concept, introduced by Pauline Boss in the context of dealing with grief, can occur when a person is physically present but mentally gone, such as in cases of Alzheimer's.
