‘Dementia has got two faces’: grief as an experience of holding on and letting go for people living with primary progressive aphasia and posterior cortical atrophy
the dynamic interplay between what participants had lost and what they held on to carries significant implications for the design and delivery of support. These findings will be used alongside existing grief theory and interventional frameworks to develop a psychosocial intervention for people living with dementia.
