The following article is the result of an assignment that was designed specifically to meet the needs of the first author in attaining the objectives for our Theoretical Foundations of Nursing course, a component for the Advanced Standing Nursing Baccalaureate Program at the University of New Brunswick. A key component of our course involved learning about and living Dr. Jean Watson's (2008, 2018) human caring/unitary caring science theory. The first author describes how she lives the Caritas principles in her journey of caring and advocating for her son, Noah who is living his dying in palliative care.
