Spiritual Awakening of a Nurse

Héctor Rosso RN, BSN, CDE, MA, Caritas Coach® Doctoral Scholar in Caring Science
October 2019, Lotus Library

As a nurse and a father, Rosso poignantly reflects on his grueling struggle and a search for life’s meaning after enduring seven harrowing years stoically supporting his “soul teacher,” 13-year-old daughter Julieta who died after being diagnosed with cancer at age 6. Following his loss, Rosso begins a courageous trek through an unchartered territory of chaos, despair, forgiveness, and unknowns, which leads him to confront his pain and himself head-on, leading to deep surrendering, self-care, higher consciousness, and loving-kindness relationships.

This is a beautiful, biographical book that weaves Watson's Caring Science within grief, conscious dying, nursing, fatherhood and relationships.
