Abstract
This study explored the lived experience of suffering through the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Using Katie Eriksson's theory of caritative caring, seven major themes emerged. The findings will contribute to the theoretical knowledge needed by nurses working in natural disasters and generate global dialogues necessary to advance caring science.
