When we talk about grief it's usually about things that have happened in the past, but sometimes we can grieve over the present. Dementia is a disease that affects memory, and losing memory can sometimes be harder than losing someone.  We will speak to Lyn, a psychology professor, about how we can understand dementia and improve the quality of life with this disease.
