Consequently, the author provides extensive case studies illustrating a broad variety of families experiencing ambiguous loss alongside with approaches for therapy to help clients.It would be great if someone wrote a book on ambiguous loss specifically for individuals and families experiencing it, but until that happens, I recommend this book. Be aware that it is more about deepening understanding than getting answers on what you should do... and, nutshell, a lot of what you do in an ambiguous situation is sit with it, accept it, and try to negotiate what it means as a family so everybody is on the same page (insofar as it is possible to be)... because family members have WILDLY differing perspectives.There are some interesting suggestions in the book about family meetings and some other practical advice; of course, it's written for a therapist to implement with clients, but a determined person could probably adapt it.The book gave me more clarity about my family's situation and more sensitivity towards other family members' perspectives. It helped me think through some options to bring about change that I ultimately decided would be too laborious and damaging for me personally, so I have to let them be. I needed to gain this understanding so I could lay it to rest for now. I hope others who are in a situation where a loved one is present yet not present will also find help in these pages. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful after husband’s traumatic brain injury *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 21, 2020* I wasn’t sure about reading a 20 year old book on loss but I found Boss’ book very helpful 15 months after my husband’s severe TBI. I have experienced inexpressible loss while at the same time, my husband recovered well for the severity of his injury. He is physically with me, but not here mentally, emotionally, spiritually as he was before. Boss writes in a reader friendly way as she relays many of the emotions and thoughts I’ve had. I appreciate that she thoroughly describes ambiguous loss and explains why it is more difficult than clear cut losses because the loss never ends, there is no closure. Her suggestions for coping and making meaning in ambiguous loss are a good start to walking a long hard road. I wanted more discussion on coping and wish she had written more on TBI. However, I suspect she would have had a hard time finding survivors and families to interview in the 1990s because fewer people survived severe brain injuries. I plan on reading her other materials as I continue this arduous journey. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of clarity *by V*** on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2021* Even though the book is about ambiguous loss, it provides tremendous clarity for individuals caught under its spell. For families dealing with circumstances that have no closure or clear end- there is hope in the words in this book.Just having a term for this seemingly interminable journey of pain…… is so helpful. Name it to tame it they say. Read the book- provides clarity and a direction to channel the pain and your energy.Well written with beautifully illustrated stories and wisdom. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4259902-ambiguous-loss-learning-to-live-with-unresolved-grief](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4259902-ambiguous-loss-learning-to-live-with-unresolved-grief) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
