Aim:

To analyze the life experience of the mothers of children living with cardiopathies based on the Theory of Transpersonal Care.

Methodology:

This research into caring adopts a qualitative approach and was performed between May and June 2011. The sample consisted of 21 mothers who accompanied their children during treatment in a specialized cardiopulmonary hospital in the municipality of Fortaleza, Northeast Brazil.

Results:

The mother lives changing processes in her social life, because of the necessity to dedicate her life to the child, as well as feelings, such as anxiety, fear, sadness and frustration by the imminent risk of child?s death. To build some strength, the mother usually looks for her own beliefs.

Discussion:

The use of elements from the Clinical Caritas Process aids the development of humanized caring nursing.

Conclusion:

The application of this theory helps to understand the mother?s experience as a caregiver and as a person that needs caring.
