Dr. Donna Kincheloe’s amazing presentation helped me understand the concept of spirituality. I enjoyed the personal stories she shared because they showed she experienced the same things we will. Her stories touched me and gave me insight into other aspects of nursing we tend to forget are present.
Donna, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your visit to our classroom today. Death, dying and grief is such an underdiscussed topic and its nice that you were there to give us a greater insight to it. I love the fact you have a very approachable energy, non-threatening, and full of compassion in the delivery of your message as well. That is important when dealing with such a hard topic. I think you should offer your videos to other schools.
Dr. Donna addresses every student with purpose and makes them aware of how important they are to our nursing profession and our world. She helps students recognize how to open the conversation and develop a spiritual relationship with patients and colleagues. She encourages them to examine their spiritual values and connectiveness so they can better serve their patients. She treats everyone with dignity and respect.

One Common Thread will allow people to understand loss and extend grace to fellow human beings in times of need. The world needs more people with genuine compassion for each other. I really enjoyed this series; it brought light to things I’ve let go to the back burner in my mind. Despite life’s challenges these true stories will leave you inspired and filled with hope.
People need hope and Dr. Donna Kincheloe serves it well through One Common Thread. Understanding loss is a guarantee in this life is key. Review of the truths about loss and taking time to create a personal loss lifeline gives any person valuable insight. Learning loss is an unexpected end with different levels of intensity provides an honest evaluation.
The concept of maintaining a sensitivity antenna prevents comparing and judging others. Exploring types of grief will help many. I know nuggets of gold show up when you least expect them, if you seek and sift. This video series delivers hope, motivation, purpose, and encouragement. All essential ingredients needed for those of us acquainted with loss in life. Loss is the one common thread that pulls us together.
With gratitude, SamanthaThis review must begin with an expression of gratitude to Dr. Donna D. Kincheloe.
I am currently attending a nursing program at the University of Southern Indiana.
Dr. Donna was our guest speaker on how to provide spiritual care to our future patients; a topic I am passionate about as I want to respect and honor everyone’s own faith and spirituality even if it differs from my own. I sat in the front of the lecture wanting to absorb her knowledge and wisdom like a sponge.
Dr. Donna radiated such a joyfulness, confidence, and light that I admired. I remember thinking to myself ‘I fear I am too broken to ever grow into that kind of woman and nurse, but I would like to’.
After the lecture, I was lucky enough to share a conversation with her. She took a sincere interest in who I was and my journey. When she found out I am spiritual but not a Christian, she didn’t bat an eye. She accepted me and wasn’t trying to change me. This meant a great deal.
At the end, she offered me a free copy of her book. I was grateful. I knew with finals upon me, it would have to wait—but I knew I wanted to read it. When I was able to devote time to picking this book up, I couldn’t put it down. As a 29 year old who is facing some uncertainty and internal struggles—Dr. Donna’s honesty and vulnerability made me feel seen and less alone. She writes with courage and truth about her life and what it is to be human. There were many moments while reading this that made me breathe a sigh of relief in self compassion and grace—“auh, I am not alone”.
