Integrity

"Integrity is the ability to listen to a place inside oneself that doesn't change; even though the life that carries it may change." Rabbi Jonathan Ober-Man

An interesting definition of integrity.  Integrity is something that we, as caregivers, need.  It takes courage and integrity to be a good caregiver.  We will be criticized by other people, usually other family members; and because of that, we need to know what is right for us and for our loved one and not be swayed by the criticisms of others.  Only you know what is best for yourself, and - as caregivers - we are given the task of also figuring out what is best for another person.  For that we need integrity.  For any given decision, let us be in touch with that place inside ourselves from which we can know what is right for us, and then we can find the courage to do it.
