Description
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experience of
suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The experiences of 13 individuals who
lived suffering through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti were elicited. Heideggerian
hermeneutical phenomenology served as both the guiding philosophy and methodology
for this research study, while Eriksson’s (1981) theory of caritative caring provided the
caring science lens. Diekelmann, Allen, and Tanner’s (1989) seven-stage method of
hermeneutical analysis provided the structure for data analysis. The relational themes that
were interpreted were: Experiencing the Unimaginable, Awakening to a Changed Reality,
Agonizing for Others, Compounding Losses, Finding a Way Forward, and Being
Transformed. These six relational themes are illuminated and aesthetically re-presented
in six watercolor paintings. The constitutive pattern Suffering With and For Others
expressed the meaning of suffering for participants through the 2010 earthquake in Haiti
as a lived experience.
