The essence of a Balance of Dignity is as we relinquish the control (we believe) we have over someone else and allow them to know of their own value, we allow them to maintain their dignity. There's enough negativity, despair and heartbreak with this disease, for everyone involved. We have to find the fun by understanding what we can do to make things better. Then accepting what we cannot fix by letting go of any guilt associated with what can't be done. I believe we should be sharing information as an industry standard. My hope is that this small book, as a compilation of over ten years of personal direct care experience, is able to answer some questions and gives you somewhere to go to get more questions answered.
