Mother, Heal My Self: An Intergenerational Healing Journey Between Two Worlds

JoEllen Koerner was raised in a small Mennonite community in Soluth Dakota, became a Civil Rights activist in the South, and rose to prominence as a nurse executive of international repute. None of these life experiences, or her honed skills as a Western medical practitioner, prepared her for the moment every parent hopes never happens: Her daughter, Kristi, her body wracked with pain, asks permission to die. Into the depths of this dreaded moment enter Wanigi Waci (Spirit Dancer), a dear friend and keeper of the Lakota Sioux heaging traditions. He invites Kristi and JoEllen into his People's time-honored healing ways and giving community, with ramifications whose importance ultimately surpasses the restoration of Kristi's health.

JoEllen Koerner, Ph.D., R.N., FAAN, is past president of the American Organization of Nurse Executives and an originating member of the Center for Nursing Leadership.
